Atmospheric Optics: Aerosols, Visibility, and the Radiative Balance

Join us in scenic Lake Junaluska, NC for the latest research and solutions on atmospheric science 
 
This international conference will provide a technical forum on advances in the scientific understanding of the effects of aerosols on urban, regional, continental, and global-scale haze and the radiative balance. The conference will take a multipronged approach by encouraging scientific dialogue (e.g., related to measurements, modeling) as well as including presentations addressing regulatory and policy issues.  This year, we will be highlighting planned sessions on the timely topics of dust, nitrogen, and bioaerosols, plus increasing concerns of the effects of atmospheric nitrogen and carbonaceous material on health, air quality, haze, and visibility. 

The area has spectacular scenery and is immediately adjacent to the Class I, visibility-protected area of Piskah National Forest and Great Smoky Mountains National Park within an hour. 

This unique event includes multiple opportunities for attendees and presenters to gain a complete understanding of the wide range of issues on this topic through platform and poster presentations, expert panels, courses, and a vendor exhibit. 

In addition, a mid-conference field trip to Great Smoky Mountains National Park with various levels of hiking and a visit to the IMPROVE site will provide opportunities for informal discussions on conference topics. 


Sponsorship and tabletop display opportunities are available!  Contact Jessika Keefer to discuss your opportunities.
