Understanding Mineral Dust Through a Doctoral Alliance
Marenco, Franco; Amiridis, Vasilis; Costa, Maria João; Kandler, Konrad; Kazadzis, Stelios; Klose, Martina; Pérez García-Pando, Carlos; Ryder, ClaireWe present an example of how a doctoral network can bring together multidisciplinary expertise and novel scientific advances in atmospheric dust. This network (Dust-DN) has started operations and is a strategic alliance of high-profile partners, able to leverage unique facilities for atmospheric research and innovative space missions. The network aims to improve our understandings of dust processes and microphy...
