Participation in the European Aerosol Conference 2012

Researchers of the Izaña Atmospheric Research Center participated in a total of 13 communications presented in the 2012 European Aerosol Conference (EAC-2012) was held in Granada from 2 to 7 September 2012. The conference series is held under the auspices of the European Aerosol Assembly (EAA), a body that represents 12 national or regional societies. The Aerosol Society of Spain organized the EAC2012, and specifically by the University of Granada through the Andalusian Center for Environmental Studies (CEAMA) and the Atmospheric Physics Research Group (GFAT).
