Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds Workshop
PhD student Kirsti Ashworth and Professor Nick Hewitt (LEC) hosted a two day workshop at Lancaster University on 17-18 May 2011 to discuss biogenic volatile organic compound emissions models and their applications.
Over 60 attendees from 16 different countries heard presentations on the atmospheric chemistry of biogenic volatile organic compounds, the models used to estimate the emission rates of these compounds and their evaluation against measurements, and the application of these emissions models for air quality and climate modelling.
Discussions focused on the need to reduce the uncertainties in estimates of bVOC emissions and how this could be achieved. The workshop was financially supported by NERC's National Centre for Atmospheric Science.
