D-TECT ERC Consolidator Grant

The overarching goal of D-TECT is to understand the processes affecting the transport of desert dust particles to longer distances than expected by theory. D-TECT will tackle this paradox by studying the role of triboelectric charging on the atmospheric processes and by quantifying its impact on the evolution of the dust properties during transport. D-TECT will benefit by the measurements performed at the Climate Observatory of PANGEA at the island of Antikythera and Cape Verde.

Atmohub & Climatehub: Greece's Hubs for Climate and Air Quality

Atmohub and Climatehub serve as key information hubs for energy, climate change, and atmospheric composition in Greece. Atmohub, supported by the C3S Copernicus Climate Change Service National Collaboration Programme (C3S-NCP), focuses on providing valuable data and analyses related to energy and climate change. On the other hand, Climatehub, within the framework of the CAMS National Collaboration Programme (CAMS-NCP-Greece) of the Copernicus program, specializes in atmospheric composition, offering insights into air pollution and air quality. Both hubs contribute to enhancing the understanding of critical environmental issues and supporting informed decision-making at the national level.
