NORDDUST

to provide information and advice on high latitude dust issues in the Nordic Region.

NORDDUST consortium is the Nordic network of experts on high latitude dust (HLD) and its climate impacts to monitor, advise, and provide knowledge and monitoring tools on dust storms and dust-related particulate matter air pollution in the Nordic region. This advisory group consists of partners from Iceland, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, and it is funded by the Nordic Council on Ministers, Nordic Working Group for Climate and Air (NKL) by the Ministry of Environment, Denmark. It was established in 2024.
