The Ozone Diary

Fresh from gaining a PhD in atmospheric sciences, Paavo moves from Finland to the Netherlands to study ozone with the use of satellite measurements. Life in a new country isn't without its hiccups but, then again, nothing worthwhile ever is. Armed with keen wits, a trusty bicycle, and a healthy passion for science, join Paavo for this fish-out-of-water tale with a difference.

The Ozone Diary is a truly unique graphic novel, offering a refreshing perspective on how science is put into practice, and the adventure of starting a new life abroad.
