Atmospheric Chemistry Graduate Course

Atmospheric Chemistry Graduate Course

It is a graduate course note led by Prof. Jose-Luis Jimenez, and explorations into atmospheric chemistry principles had been quite informative. Some of the topics covered include global circulation, chemical transport, spectroscopy, and some more key atmospheric processes. The note has focused around the chemistry of inorganic nitrogen and acid deposition as well as around the role of aerosols, cloud, and fog chemistry. The program seems to look for making sure students get a profound understanding of complexity in the atmosphere and many other factors that go into its chemistry, especially as it relates to environmental concerns.

Astrochemistry The Cradle of Life

Astrochemistry The Cradle of Life

Professor Nigel Mason discusses in his paper the chemical origins of life, covering the synthesis of nucleobases and DNA. Included in this also are the historical experiments, such as Urey-Miller, and examines the chemistry of prebiotic types in conditions similar to those prevailing on early Earth. This note covers important results with regard to the question of life on Mars: investigations about meteorites from Mars and ozone formation and depletion. It is an interesting overview of astrochemical processes that could well have led to the origin of life on Earth and elsewhere in the universe, founded on a blend of experimental data and theoretical insights.
