Last week, members of CESAM and DAO (Research Group on Emissions, Modelling and Climate Change) were present at ITM2024 – International Technical Meeting On Air Pollution Modeling And Its Application, which took place between 14-18 October in Copenhagen. The international conference brings together experts from around the world to discuss advances and innovations in atmospheric pollution modeling.
Among the participants were CESAM/DAO members Alexandra Monteiro, Assistant Researcher, Ana Isabel Miranda, Full Professor, Michael Russo, researcher, and PhD students André Barreirinha and Daniel Helm, who had the opportunity to present their work and discuss the most recent developments with other researchers.
Alexandra Monteiro presented the poster entitled: “Air quality in Portugal under different climate change scenarios”, André Barreirinha participated with an oral presentation on the topic: “Improving the LOTOS-EUROS dry deposition scheme for Mediterranean climate conditions”, and Daniel Helm with an oral presentation, addressing the topic: “Coupling steady-state emission inversions of NO₂ and NH₃ with a chemical transport model in the Iberian Peninsula”.
Special recognition
André Barreirinha, student of the Doctoral Program in Environmental Sciences and Engineering, was awarded 3rd place in the ITM2024 Best Young Researcher award, thanks to the scientific quality of his oral presentation, held during a special session on nitrogen modeling, organized by FONDA project.
This recognition is a testimony to the excellence of the work that André and the entire CESAM/DAO team have been developing, consolidating the importance of research carried out within the scope of atmospheric modeling and its impact on understanding climate change and air quality.
