High latitude dust (H
LD), originating from cold high latitudes (≥ 50 °N and ≥ 40 °S) affects the
cryosphere, oceans, air quality and safety, and in Europe both the High Ar
ctic and the European mainland.
Extreme HLD related events include une
xpected, unusual or unseasonal events with exceptional magnitude, duration,
severity, or extent, such as most severe wind erosion events, storms, dust
storms, snow-dust storms, heat waves, cold weather, and extreme snowfalls,
for example.
Jointly organized by the Finnish Meteorological Institu te (FMI), the Agricultural University of Iceland (AUI), and the Internation al Arctic Science Committee (IASC), together with the IceDust Association, this workshop will bring together high latitude dust scientists to present and discuss all aspects of effects and extremes of HLD. The workshop aims t o networking and interaction. More information on the workshop, including s ession topics will be announced soon.
Early career scientists (regist ered PhD students or PhD degree gained within 5 years) are encouraged to ap ply for the IASC travel support when submitting a presentation. Two ECS pre sentations will be selected for travel cost support of 750 eur (reimburseme nt based on receipts, further instruction for will be provided when the sel ection will be announced).
