Staubtag – Interdisciplinary Workshop on Mineral Dust Research
Date: 26-27 November 2026
Location: Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS), Leipzig, Germany
Since 2014, Staubtag has regularly brought together researchers from a wide range of disciplines working on mineral dust and its diverse interactions with the environment, climate, and society. The workshop series provides and open platform for sharing recent research findings, discussing emerging scientific questions, and fostering interdisciplinary collaborations.
The workshop features short presentations, poster sessions, and joint discussions, offering insights into ongoing and planned research activities. Beyond the scientific programme, Staubtag provides opportunities to establish new contacts, strengthen existing networks, and develop ideas for future collaborative projects.
The scope of the workshop is intentionally broad, covering topics ranging from field and laboratory studies, modelling, and remote sensing to dust interactions with clouds and radiation, palaeoclimate research, and impacts of dust on human health, the environment, and society.
Everyone conducting research on mineral dust or working in related fields is warmly invited to participate, regardless of discipline or career stage. Alongside regular participants, we particularly welcome newcomers to the community and early-career researchers.
