FOGDEW – International Fog and Dew Association (IFDA)

The International Fog and Dew Association

The International Fog and Dew Association, IFDA, was founded in 2016. We bring together scientists and practitioners working on fog and dew from around the world. The focal point of our activities is our triennial conference series that started in 1998.

If you are interested in fog and dew research, the conference series and IFDA you are welcome to join the fog-dew mailing list!
