This is the web page for the Atmospheric Chemistry II Course at CU-Boulder (CHEM/ATOC-5152). It will be co-taught by Profs. Paul Ziemann and Jose-Luis Jimenez in Spring 2015 under the name CHEM-6111 (Special Topics in Analytical Chemistry), while the formal course will be created later.
Contents
Organizational Info for Spring 2015
- We will meet in Ekeley W165, Tue & Thu 9:30-10:45 am
- Syllabus & Course Schedule
- Suggested textbooks: Jacob, Finlayson-Pitts & Pitts, Seinfeld & Pandis
- Homeworks
- Piazza system for Q&A
- Office Hrs (both Paul & Jose): 30 min after each lecture (in the classroom) & Wed 11-12 in our offices (Cristol 434 / 436)
- For Jose an exception is Wed 25-Feb when I have a conflict, so office hours will instead be Fri 27-Feb 11-12.
- During weeks when we not teaching we can still meet after class, or by appointment.
Topics for Spring 2015 (Ongoing and Already Covered)
