Title: Air Quality Research Using Remote Sensing
Authors: Costa, Maria João; Bortoli, Daniele
Editors: Costa, Maria João; Bortoli, Daniele
Abstract: Air pollution is a worldwide environmental hazard with serious consequences for
health and climate as well as for agriculture, ecosystems, and cultural heritage, among others. According to the WHO, there are 8 million premature deaths every year resulting from exposure to ambient air pollution. In addition, more than 90% of the world’s population lives in places where air quality is poor, exceeding the recommended limits; most of these places are in low- or middle-income countries. Air pollution and climate influence each other through complex physicochemical interactions in the atmosphere, altering the Earth’s
energy balance, with implications for climate change and air quality.
It is vital to measure specific atmospheric parameters and pollutant concentrations,
monitor their variations, and analyze different scenarios with the aim of assessing air pollution levels and developing early-warning and forecast systems; such developments provide a means of improving air quality and assuring public health in favor of a reduction in air pollution casualties and a mitigation of climate change phenomena. Eleven research papers were published in this Special Issue, comprising one communication paper [ 1], seven articles [2– 8 ], two technical notes [9 ,10 ], and one letter [11]. The published research signals the potential of applying remote sensing data in air quality studies, including combination with in situ data [1, 3 ,6 ,8], modeling approaches [ 2, 9 ,11 ], and the synergy of
different instrumentations and techniques [4 ,5 ,7 ,10 ]. Significant pollutants considered in the studies include aerosols—using PM2.5 and aerosol optical depth (AOD) as quantification variables [1,2 ,4, 5,9]—nitrogen dioxide (NO2 ) [7, 8,11 ], formaldehyde (HCHO) [ 3 ], and carbon monoxide (CO) [6,10], among others [10].2022-12-01T00:00:00ZONLINE WORKSHOP ON EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCES - ATMOSPHERIC PHYSICS AND CLIMATE Proceedings Book 2020

Title: ONLINE WORKSHOP ON EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCES - ATMOSPHERIC PHYSICS AND CLIMATE Proceedings Book 2020
Authors: Costa, Maria João; Salgado, Rui
Abstract: This book was produced in the scope of the Curricular Unit Seminar I (Physics
of Atmosphere and Climate) of the PhD program in Earth and Space Sciences,
which included the organization of the 2020 edition of the Online Workshop
on Earth and Space Sciences - Atmospheric Physics and Climate of the
University of Évora. This volume brings together the research articles
produced by students who attended the course. Since its first edition in 2013,
the Workshop has been a space for sharing knowledge and training in science
communication. In this sense, it seeks to provide students who attend Seminar
Units with an effective experience not only in the preparation and presentation
of oral communications and research articles, but also in the organization of
the event itself. In the 2020 edition, which took place on June 4, 11 abstracts
were submitted and presented, covering the various themes of the PhD
program, in addition to two invited lectures.2020-01-01T00:00:00ZWorkshop em Ciências da Terra e do Espaço - Livro de Atas

Abstract: O presente livro foi produzido no âmbito da unidade curricular Seminário do programa de Doutoramento em Ciências da Terra e do Espaço (DCTE) e do Mestrado em Ciências da Terra, da Atmosfera e do Espaço (MCTAE), que incluiu a organização da edição de 2018 do Workshop em Ciências da Terra e do Espaço da Universidade de Évora (WCTE2018). Neste volume estão reunidos os artigos de investigação produzidos pelos estudantes que frequentam a referida unidade curricular. O WCTE assume-se, desde a sua primeira edição em 2013, como um espaço de partilha de conhecimento e treino de comunicação em ciência. Nesse sentido, procura proporcionar aos estudantes que frequentam a Unidade de Seminário uma experiência efetiva não apenas na preparação e apresentação de comunicações orais e artigos de investigação, mas também na organização do próprio evento. Na edição do WCTE2018, que ocorreu no dia 10 de janeiro, foram submetidos e apresentados 9 trabalhos, que abrangem as várias temáticas que dos cursos MCTAE e DCTE.2018-01-01T00:00:00ZCatalogue of continental diatoms from Portugal, including the Archipelagos of Azores and Madeira.

Title: Catalogue of continental diatoms from Portugal, including the Archipelagos of Azores and Madeira. Updated nomenclature, distribution and bibliography
Authors: Novais, Maria Helena; Blanco, Saul; Morais, Maria Manuela; Hoffmann, Lucien; Ector, Luc
Editors: Witkowski, Andrzej
Abstract: This catalogue aims to compile the information available on continental (recent and fossil) diatoms in Portugal, including the Archipelagos of Madeira and Azores, since the early beginnings of the diatom studies in Portugal at the middle of the XIXth century until 2010.
The diatom taxa are presented following an updated taxonomy; nevertheless, in order to provide a historical overview, the nomenclatural synonyms found in the literature from Portugal are also included. For the 1381 taxa the following information is presented: basionym, nomenclatural synonyms, citations (with the precise indication of the sampling sites), frequent taxonomical synonyms and a distribution map2015-01-01T00:00:00Z
