The AirUCI Internal Symposium has scheduled a meeting on Thursday, November 7th in Rowland Hall room 390 from 12:30 - 1:30 for grad students, postdocs, and project scientists.  These meetings are an excellent opportunity to learn about AirUCI-related research and to form collaborations among the AirUCI labs.  Light lunch is provided, and this week the speakers are Allison Vander Wall (Finlayson-Pitts group) talking about her work in understanding SOA particles through the use of molecular probes, and Michael (Kleinman group) talking about his research on interactions between human skin and...

AirUCI postdoc Murat Aydin (Saltzman group) will give a talk on Tuesday, November 5th at 3:30 pm in Croul Hall room 3101 (Jenkins Room).  His talk is entitled "Atmospheric records of carbonyl sulfide, methyl chloride, and acetylene during the Holocene from polar ice cores."  Direct evidence exists for large changes in fire emissions that can drive the observed increases in trace gas levels. These results have broader implications as fires are a source of most atmospheric trace gases and aerosols.

AirUCI Co-Director Barbara Finlayson-Pitts has been invited to give two talks at the University of Pittsburgh for the 33rd Annual Frederick Kaufman Memorial Lecture Series.  The first presentation, entitled "Atmospheric Chemistry in the Anthropocene: SOx, NOx and Rocks"will be held on October 31, 2019 and the second, entitled "Melding of Experiment and Theory as the Bedrock of Understanding Current Atmospheric Chemistry Problems" will be given on November 1, 2019.

The AirUCI Internal Symposium has scheduled a meeting on Thursday, October 24th in Rowland Hall room 390 from 12:30 - 1:30 for grad students, postdocs, and project scientists.  These meetings are an excellent opportunity to learn about AirUCI-related research and to form collaborations among the AirUCI labs.  Light lunch is provided.  Natalia Karimova (Gerber group) is presenting her theoretical work on N2O5 and their reactions with ions in water, and Deanna Myers (Smith group) is presenting her work on characterizing and developing a Variable Residence Tandem Differential Mobility...

AirUCI visiting researcher Andreas Zuend of McGill University in Quebec will present the Chemistry Department's PCHEM seminar on Tuesday, October 22nd from 3.30 - 4.30 in Rowland Hall room 104.  The talk title is TBD.

After a summer break, the AirUCI Internal Symposium will resume meetings this week for grad students, postdocs, and project scientists.  The first meeting will be held on Thursday, October 3rd in Rowland Hall room 390 from 12:30 - 1:30.  These meetings are an excellent opportunity to learn about AirUCI-related research and to form collaborations among the AirUCI labs.  Light lunch is provided.
