Natal, Brazil 22-26th September 2014 The International Commission on Atmospheric Chemistry and Global Pollution, iCACGP, warmly welcomes all the participants to its 13th Quadrennial Symposium, iCACGP-QS, which is being undertaken jointly with the 13th Science Conference of the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry Project, IGAC-SC. This scientific symposium and conference provides an evolving and unique forum for discussion and exchange between researchers. It facilitates the dissemination of the latest knowledge, derived from research in the fields of atmospheric chemistry, global air pollution and their feedback with climate change. This meeting also celebrates the 25th anniversary of the inauguration of the Global Atmosphere Watch, GAW, and programme of the World Meteorological Organisation WMO. The key mission of the GAW partnership for our research is to provide scientific data, which are well calibrated and validated. In particular the results achieved within GAW provide unique insight into the changing chemical composition of the atmosphere, and facilitate the assessment of its natural and anthropogenic origins, thereby improving our understanding of interactions between the atmosphere, the oceans and the biosphere. GAW is also one of the sponsors of this meeting. We also take this opportunity to thank all the sponsors of the meeting, which are to be found on the meeting website [http://www.igac-icacgp2014.org/](http://www.igac-icacgp2014.org/). This is the first time that either the iCACGP Quadrennial Symposium, ICACGPQS, or the IGAC Science Conference, IGAC-SC, has been hosted in South America. We extend our thanks to the South American Local Organisation Committee, LOC, led by Professor Judith J. Hoelzemann from the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) in Natal without whose efforts this unique meeting would not be taking place. Similarly we thank the joint Scientific Program Committee led by its coordinators, Professor Russell Dickerson of the University of Maryland, and Professor Yinon Rudich of the Weizmann Institute, and the session convenors for choosing our distinguished keynote and invited speakers and for their selecting such an outstanding and exciting set of scientific presentations. SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM The Commission on Atmospheric Chemistry and Radioactivity, CACR, was created during the International Geophysics Year in 1957 with its name being changed to the Commission on Atmospheric Chemistry and Global Pollution, CACGP and then in 2006 to iCACGP. The international organisation and coordination of the atmospheric and relevant earth sciences are facilitated by iCACGP, which reports to the International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences, IAMAS. Eight Associations, addressing the different physical science research fields within the Earth Sciences including IAMAS, constituent the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics, IUGG. The International Council for Science founded in 1931 as the International Council for Scientific Unions and known as ICSU comprises 30 scientific unions one of which is IUGG. The

FAQs
