Workshop about Pollutants in the Svalbard Atmosphere

SIOS, the Ny-Ålesund atmosphhere flagship, and the HERMOSA project invites you to a workshop in Longyearbyen.

The project ‘Harmonising Environmental Research and Monitoring of Priority Pollutants in the Svalbard Atmosphere (HERMOSA) would like to invite you to the research workshop HERMOSA 2022.

Researchers interested in the atmospheric aerosols, impurities and microbiology monitoring and sampling in Svalbard, or in the harmonisation of monitoring and sampling methods for those.

The invitation is especially valid for the members of the Ny-Ålesund Atmospheric Flagship, the researchers running and supervising atmospheric aerosol or other impurity (e.g. gaseous pollutants) and microbiology monitoring elsewhere in Svalbard, and those who propose new impurities / emerging contaminants to be added to the existing monitoring protocols.

The understanding of atmospheric impurities in this context is broad and extends from aerosols changing the atmospheric optical depth through black carbon, particulate and gaseous pollutants of both organic and inorganic character, to microbial cells and alien species in the aerial plankton.

Abstract submission and registration deadline: 10 July 2022
