The Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) and the Environmental and Business Corporation (CAEM), with the support of the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development of Colombia, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), are organizing a series of knowledge exchange webinars to share Colombia's successful intervention model to transform the brick sector and to learn from the experience of countries from South Asia.

To be eligible to participate in ACCESS, an applicant must have received a doctorate from an accredited university after September 1, 2018, or the applicant’s main thesis advisor must certify that in all probability the applicant will have received a doctorate by August 31, 2021. The applicant's thesis or postdoctoral research must be in the field of atmospheric chemistry.

Open to graduate students and/or postdoctoral scholars. Must be able to attend the webinar on 13th May (10 AM - 12 PM EDT). 

HEI is inviting applications for the Jane Warren Trainee Conference Award for its 2021 Annual Conference. This award, previously known as the HEI Travel Award, is named in remembrance of Dr. Jane Warren, who joined HEI in the 1980s and led HEI’s scientific activities as Director of Science from 1999 until her retirement in 2008.

The 2021 AMOS Annual Conference has around 40 thematic sessions on topics emphasising how our sciences have impact. This covers areas such as:

Following on from the meeting held on in December 2020, it was suggested that we hold some workshops within C-CAPS with the aim of fostering collaboration between the range of disciplines. This series of workshops will be the C-CAPS expert series, and we are delighted to hold the first in the series on the subject of Air Quality Research in C-CAPS next Fri the 5th Feb at 2:30pm. We will use the workshop as a chance to discuss research and funding opportunities. We will also be taking suggestions for topics for the next workshop in the series to be held next month.

First session

Date and time: February 16, 2021 at 13:00-14:30 CET 

Topics and scheduled speakers

Chaired by Richard Peltier

The European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative aims to realise the full potential of the long-term global Earth Observation archives that ESA, together with its member states, has established over the past 30 years. This workshop focuses on the generation and exploitation of CCI’s multi-decadal time series of harmonised and consistent ozone data suitable to assess long-term changes in total ozone, as well as its vertical distribution.

16-17 March 2021; 2 half-day virtual sessions via Webex

Workshop summary: Identify strategies to monitor African atmospheric composition to better quantify pollutant and greenhouse gases surface fluxes and atmospheric fate. The overarching goal is to shape pollutant and greenhouse gases abatement strategies to mitigate climate change with improved air quality.

The Frontiers in Atmospheric Chemistry Seminar Series is a high profile virtual seminar series to be held over the 2020-21 academic year. Please sign up to the email list if you are interested in receiving announcements. Note that webinar registration is unique for each speaker; emails with registration information are sent on Mondays.
