A009 - Aerosols and Air Quality over South Asia and the Hindu Kush-Himalaya
The densely populated Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP), south of the Hindu Kush-Himalaya (HKH), is subjected to persistently high loadings of aerosols and key air pollutants, which lead to poor air quality and impact the regional atmospheric chemistry, climate, public health and agriculture. Dense smog associated with crop burning, urban/industrial emissions and residential heating/cooking, during the dry autumn-winter period, often results in alarming degradation of air quality.
This call is directed at early career researchers to co-shape the development of the ESDL. If you are a researcher at an early stage of your career, you are cordially invited submit a concise proposal for a self-contained project to showcase the potential and the limitations of the ESDL and help shaping it’s future way. Please read on to find out how to apply and the timeline.
