The 4th HLD Workshop will take place in Keldnaholt, Reykjavik on 13-14 February 2020. The overarching aim of this interdisciplinary workshop is to review our understanding of effects and extremes of high latitude dust in the past, present and future, and to identify research needs. No admission fees.
Workshop aims
- Collecting available info on > 20 new HLD sources to be published in paper
- Engaging Icelandic/international stakeholders to dust monitoring activities
- Topics on other aerosols and air pollutants than HLD are welcome (e.g. BC, pollen, sea salt, ..), Arctic air pollution
- NEW – A Session Starting projects in HLD will be opened (main contributors Kerstin Schepanski and Konrad Kandler, Zongbo Shi, Martina Klose, and more)
Abstracts or registration confirmation shall be sent by email to
