About

The world’s climate is rapidly changing due to anthropogenic activities, and will continue to do so for the decades and centuries ahead without rapid global changes. This poses major challenges for future agricultural systems to provide food and other bio-resources for the nine billion people that will occupy the planet by 2050.

Éanna is an MSc CCAFS student based in NUI Galway. He is currently conducting a research project in Hanoi, Vietnam. He is researching the causes of air pollution in South-East Asian cities as a result of agricultural practices, local power plants, and international influences from areas such as China and Russia. This is a serious issue as air pollution and haze in the region has a significant impact on transport and trade as a result of poor visibility, not to mention the negative impacts to public health as a result of air quality.

This page will inform all those interested about his research, career developments and much more relating to those topics.
