On June 6th our project successfully hosted its latest webinar, “Desert Dust: From Monitoring and Forecasting to Satellite Synergies.” This session brought together leading experts to discuss how advanced monitoring, forecasting, and satellite data integration are transforming our understanding of desert dust events; especially across the Mediterranean region.

Key Topics Covered:

💠In-depth exploration of the ESA-LIVAS climate data record and its applications for dust monitoring.

💠How satellite synergies are enhancing the accuracy of dust forecasts.

💠Real-world applications of integrated dust modelling, with a focus on supporting air quality and climate research within the CIROCCO project.

Featured Speakers:

Dr. Eleni Athanasopoulou (Atmospheric Scientist)

Dr. Chrysoula Papathanasiou (CiROCCO Project Manager)

Eleni Drakaki (Atmospheric Scientist, PhD Candidate)

Dr. Emmanouil Proestakis (Atmospheric Scientist).

The event attracted atmospheric scientists, environmental professionals, policy makers, and people passionate about climate, air quality, or satellite technology. Attendees benefited from expert insights, interactive Q&A, and practical examples of how data integration is shaping the future of dust forecasting.
