We are pleased to announce that the hybrid 2023 ASCENT Workshop will be held at Georgia Tech on May 25-26, 2023.
 
The Atmospheric Science and Chemistry mEasurement NeTwork (ASCENT) is a new comprehensive, high time-resolution, long-term monitoring network in the U.S. for characterization of aerosol chemical composition and physical properties. Leveraging existing networks, a total of 12 sites are being established across the country, including rural/remote/background, urban, and tribal sites. Each site will be equipped with a suite of advanced aerosol instrumentation for real-time measurements of fine aerosol chemical composition and properties: Aerosol Chemical Speciation Monitor (ACSM, non-refractory aerosols), Xact (trace metals), Aethalometer (black/brown carbon), and Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS, aerosol number size distribution and concentration). A publicly accessible, comprehensive database will also be developed.
 
This workshop is intended as a forum to discuss potential future collaborative studies and proposals that leverage the ASCENT infrastructure to advance research in atmospheric science, climate, and air quality.
 
Registration is requested here by March 24, 2023.
 
We look forward to seeing you at the workshop and discussing the wide range of possible new and exciting research capabilities that ASCENT will enable.
