Abstract submission guidelines

Thank you very much for your interest in the 8th International Conference on Fog, Fog Collection and Dew. Please follow the guidelines on this page for the submission of your abstract. Please note that an abstract processing charge (APC) of €50 per abstract is levied and can only be paid by credit card upon abstract submission.

The IFDA conference series aims to foster exchange and cross-fertilization of ideas on topics related to fog, fog collection and dew. For the IFDA2019 conference, we solicit contributions based on new and original work among the following topics:

  • Fog and Dew Chemistry (including aqueous chemistry and impacts on atmospheric chemistry)
  • Fog and Dew Physics (including microphysics, thermodynamics, dynamics, turbulence, radiation)
  • Fog and Dew Deposition/formation, interaction with the surface and vegetation, hydrological, nutrient and pollution transfer
  • Fog and Dew Measurement and monitoring, in-situ sensors, ground-based and satellite remote sensing, field campaigns, new technologies
  • High-resolution modeling for process studies and forecast of Fog and Dew
  • Life cycles of Fog and Dew in different environments (coastal, mountains, urban, continental), including climatology and trend
  • Haze and fog in highly polluted environments (aerosol response to humidity)
  • Impact of fog on human activities in different
    • sectors, e.g. transportation, renewable energy, health
  • Fog and Dew as a water resource (freshwater production and technologies)
  • Fog and Dew in art, literature, social sciences

The abstract will be the basis for conveners to accept a contribution and decide about the type of presentation.

For clarity, it is recommended that the abstract include the following information: (1) context/Purpose; (2) Methods; (3) Results; (4) Interpretation; (5) Conclusion.

  • Context/Purpose: Explain why you studied this particular topic and what is significant about it. Has past research been done? How does your research add to existing knowledge?
  • Methods: Outline the methods you used to conduct your research. How did you collect your data? How did you process your data?
  • Results: Describe what you found through your research.
  • Interpretation: Discuss those findings. What do the results mean?
  • Conclusion: Summarize what you have learned from your research and why it is significant.
