Atmospheric Chemistry Lecture Notes by Prof. Jesse Kroll

This is a lecture note by Prof. Jesse Kroll, focusing on chemical transformations in trace species of Earth's atmosphere. The note highlighted how human activity impacts both air quality and climate-from covering major concepts such as photochemistry and ozone-depleting compounds to aerosol chemistry. The note provides a comprehensive summary of what drives atmospheric chemistry, from sources and sinks of greenhouse gases to names and processes. The paper is designed for better understanding of the atmospheric processes concerning anthropogenic influences and their implication in environmental science.

Sulfur Ice Astrochemistry A Review of Laboratory Studies

Sulfur Ice Astrochemistry A Review of Laboratory Studies

The review by Duncan V. Mifsud and other authors points at the role which sulfur plays in the special world of astrochemistry as an element of paramount importance to biological systems and planetary geology. A pdf of laboratory studies involving sulfur-bearing molecules include spectroscopy and results from experiments on thermal and photochemical processing. Charged particle bombardment and radiolysis of sulfur ice analogues are discussed for a better understanding of the behavior of sulfur in extraterrestrial environments. The current document concludes with proposed further research directions and continues to highlight the importance of sulfur in astrochemical processes.

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.
