A workshop on dust emission, chemistry, and transport
Abstract
Dust emission and transport plays an enormous role in Earth s climate and weather systems, modifying precipitation characteristics, playing a role in a huge number of chemical reactions, and altering radiative processes in the atmosphere. The overall topic covers a wide range of scientific disciplines, including physics, chemistry, geology, engineering, earth sciences, atmospheric science, meteorology, and climatology. Dust processes also cover an extremely wide range of scales, encompassing phenomena governing sub-micron particulate matter as well as global-scale transport. It remains a challenging research area fraught with continued need for theoretical, experimental, and numerical development. The proposed workshop therefore seeks to bring in experts from many of the fields listed above in order to discuss and identify key target areas which are in the most need of scientific advancement. The two-day meeting will tentatively be held at a Notre-Dame-owned facility in downtown Chicago near the first week of April, where both domestic and international participants will be invited to present on this topic from their unique perspectives. Representatives from both universities and research institutions from a wide variety of departments will be invited. A report will be furnished which describes the identified research areas.
