UPDATE: ZOOM ONLY. AirUCI's Internal Symposium will meet on Thursday, May 19th at 1:30.  Johanna Rinaman from the Murray Group will be presenting, "A velocity map imaging study: the near-UV photochemistry of acetylacetone" and Marcus Marracci, also from the Murray Group, will be presenting, "Formation of brown carbon in optically trapped microdroplets"  The meetings have been held in a hybrid format this quarter, via Zoom and in Rowland Hall 390, but this meeting has been changed to an all virtual format with no physical meeting in Rowland Hall.  Zoom:  ...

Beginning May 11th, AirUCI will host a visit by Christian George, Director of Research at the IRCELYON Institute in Lyon, France.  He will be giving a presentation on Wednesday, May 12th in Rowland Hall room 390 at 2:00 pm.  His talk is entitled "Emerging sources of tropospheric multiphase oxidants.".

AirUCI's Internal Symposium will meet on Thursday, May 5th at 1:30.  The meetings will be held in a hybrid format this quarter, via Zoom and in Rowland Hall 390.  The speakers for this week are Adam Thomas from the Smith Group who will be presenting "Organic composition of aerosol particles emitted from the wear of automotive brake pads" and Yiming Qin from the Finlayson-Pitts Group presenting "On-the-fly surface analysis of atmospherically relevant sub-micron organic particles using a “Magic” ionization method".  For details, contact Lia Dam or...

AirUCI's AAAR student chapter will be hosting a game-centered discussion on the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report on climate change on Wednesday, April 27th from 4:30 PM - 6:30 PM in Rowland Hall Room 390.  The discussion is meant to be a fun way to engage with the material within this report.  Students, postdocs, scientists, and faculty are all invited!  This event will also serve as an AirUCI spring quarter social, so feel free to stop by and invite your colleagues!  For details, contact aaarsc@uci.edu.

On April 13, 2022, AirUCI will host a group of students from Pepperdine University attending the classes of our collaborator, Prof. Jane Ganske.  She is bringing her students to tour three or four of the AirUCI labs and hear presentations on our research projects.

AirUCI faculty Andrea De Vizcaya-Ruiz will present a virtual seminar on April 5th entitled "Every breath we take — is the next generation's health at risk?"  Andrea will describe how exposure to ambient air pollution, predominantly airborne particulate matter (PM), has been linked with diseases of the lung, heart, and more.  Populations in urban centers with elevated emissions are at greater health risk, as they are subjected to continuous and long-term exposure.  Details and RSVP

AirUCI's AAAR student chapter will host the second of a two-part science communication workshop with Professor Pat Ayotte, our current AirUCI Fulbright Fellow.  This is part two of the workshop to be held in Rowland Hall room 390 from 10:30 - noon on March 25th.

On March 17th, UCI's Solutions That Scale will host a presentation to discuss the Angeles Link proposal to be developed by Southern California Gas Company, an initiative that would develop the nation's largest green hydrogen energy infrastructure system.  SoCalGas President Maryam Brown and key technical leaders on her team will discuss details of the Angeles Link project.  This special online event will be held from noon to 1:00, followed by a Q&A...
