🌍 Fellows at EGU2026
Dust-DN fellow Semontee Deb gave a PICO presentation on evaluating WRF-Chem dust emission schemes and land surface models over the global dust belt.
Her work supports improved simulation of dust events from North Africa to Central Asia.
Why do the largest dust particles still matter for Earth’s climate? In our latest Fellows’ Corner post, DC Ginés Garnés Morales explains how super-coarse dust travels farther than expected and affects radiation.

🎉 And we're off!
The first European Workshop on Atmospheric Dust opened this morning in Larnaca, Cyprus 🇨🇾.
Welcome to all the participants who made the journey to be part of this first edition. It's a privilege to have this community in one room.
🌍 Not everything falling from the sky is rain.
Dust particles carry the fingerprint of their journey through the atmosphere. Discover insights from the central Mediterranean in our latest blog:
