The 7th HLD Workshop will take place in Reykjavik on 14-15 February 2023 and will be hybrid including online talks. The overarching aims of this interdisciplinary workshop are to introduce results from HLD field measurements, processes leading to dust suspension, identification and mapping of HLD sources, long-range transport of HLD as well as of Saharan dust towards the Arctic and related impacts on cryosphere and clouds, and role of aerosols in high latitude environments.
This workshop is to review our understanding of soil properties and processes leading to dust emission, as well as effects of high latitude dust and other aerosols in the past, present and future, to identify research needs. Focus is given on in situ measurements from active dust sources at high latitudes.
