DESCRIPTION:Despite the development of increasingly complex and sophistica
 ted Earth System Models\, many challenges remain in understanding how the 
 atmosphere may evolve through the 21st century. New forcing agents not tra
 ditionally accounted for by models are entering the atmosphere\, and repre
 senting natural emissions is hampered by a lack of observations and proces
 s-based understanding. I will highlight recent work carried out within my 
 group on modelling atmospheric chemistry and climate that addresses some o
 f these challenges. First\, I will discuss our recent progress in simulati
 ng sources and emissions of dimethylsulfide (DMS) with the UKESM1-AMIP mod
 el. DMS is a key contributor to sulfate aerosol and cloud condensation nuc
 lei over the remote Southern Ocean. I will also show preliminary results f
 rom a modelling study into rocket launch emissions and their impacts on st
 ratospheric ozone. Finally\, I will discuss airborne microplastics\, which
  are now understood to be ubiquitous in the atmosphere. As well as being d
 amaging to ecosystems and harmful to human health when inhaled\, my group
 ’s research shows that airborne microplastics may make a minor contribut
 ion to global radiative forcing\, which is expected to grow in future. \n\
