<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span style="color: black;">Dust is a major atmospheric aerosol, and it gives us one of the most visible and detectable aspects of transboundary transport of atmospheric constituents, impacting visibility,
radiation and climate. It affects the environment, society, and several economic sectors, with impacts on the transportation and energy sectors for example, the nature and cost of which is not fully understood and quantified. The Dust Doctoral Network will
train a cohort of scientists to become leaders in this field of research.</span></p>
