THE CHANGING CHEMICAL CLIMATE OF THE ATMOSPHERE
The first ACCENT Symposium will be hosted by the charming Urbino - Italy, 12th-16th September 2005. The exceptional Renaissance urban complex of the town harmoniously adapted to its physical site offers a suggestive framework to this Conference which would be a prime tool to promote a common European strategy in the field of atmospheric composition change.
The three main aims of the Symposium are:
- To review the latest scientific progress on the changing chemical climate of the European atmosphere, focusing on:
- atmospheric aerosols and their effects on climate and human health;
- transport and transformation of air pollutants;
- biosphere-atmosphere exchange processes;
- ecosystem responses to the current concentration and deposition fields;
- their economic effects;
- the impact of atmospheric composition change on atmospheric sustainability.
- To provide a "trade-fair" for the various activities aimed at integrating atmospheric composition and chemistry research in Europe, which includes:
- global, regional and local scale modelling;
- development of data-bases;
- access to research infrastructures;
- remote sensing of the atmospheric composition from space;
- quality assurance of atmospheric measurements;
- education and training;
- development of public awareness of ACCENT activities.
- To provide an opportunity for interaction among scientists, policy makers and general public.
