AirUCI will host the National Research Council’s Committee on The Future of Atmospheric Chemistry Research as they invite input from the atmospheric chemistry research community—including scientists, students, and postdocs from academia, government, and the private sector—on topics such as:

• Key scientific questions that will drive fundamental atmospheric chemistry science over the next decade
• Important societal and interdisciplinary science challenges affected by and affecting atmospheric chemistry science
• Current and future infrastructure or...

On May 1st at 11 am in Rowland Hall room 390, AirUCI will host a talk by Professor Yoshizumi Kajii of Kyoto University.  The title of the lecture is:  “OH Reactivity Measurements Under Several Environments and Unknown Reactive Species in Air”.

Several AirUCI researchers attended the 32nd annual International Symposium for Kinetics and Photochemical Processes in the Atmosphere (ISKPPA) which was held at CSU Northridge on April 3rd, 2015.  Our group gave talks at the symposium and presented posters illustrating our research.
