Guenther to host Thai scientists

AirUCI faculty Alex Guenther will host a visit by a delegation from NARIT (National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand) and NIDA (National Institute of Development Administration) on August 20th.  NARIT became interested in regional air quality research because air pollution interferes with their astronomical observations.  They are developing strategies for coping with rising levels of air pollution in Thai cities and are interested in collaborative research activities with UCI.  As part of their visit, they will hear a presentation on AirUCI research and tour our labs and they will give an overview of Thailand's regional air pollution research activities by Prof. Siwatt Pongpiachan and Dr. Ronald Macatangay at noon in Rowland Hall room 390.
