NEW in 2025: A Dust-Art Exhibition showcasing innovative works created with natural dust materials
The Arctic Circle Assembly 2024 in Reykjavík hosted a session focused on the environmental challenges facing the Arctic, with a particular emphasis on High Latitude Dust (HLD) and its impacts on climate. A unique collaboration between Icelandic and Czech institutions, the session highlighted the role of Earth observations, such as Copernicus data, in tracking and responding to these challenges. Key Iceland-led initiatives, including the Icelandic Aerosol and Dust Association and the UArctic Thematic Network on HLD, were introduced, emphasizing the need for continued research and global collaboration to preserve the Arctic’s fragile ecosystem.
The CAMS User Forum, held as part of the 8th High Latitude Dust Workshop in Reykjavik, provided a platform for Icelandic stakeholders to discuss air quality monitoring needs and the integration of CAMS data. The forum featured interactive discussions, a pre-event survey, and an online board where participants shared their insights on the most pressing air pollution challenges in Iceland.
