Supergroup

This page serves as the schedule for the Atmospheric Chemistry Supergroup meetings. The shorcut is http://tinyurl.com/ac-supergroup

The format of these meetings is:

• 2x 1/2 hr presentations of research from two different people
• Followed by happy hour on the Hill with anyone interested
• The presenters are volunteers, but we strive to have representation from all the groups in CU Atmos Chem.
• If you have suggestions for the organization, or are interested in presenting, please contact Jose or Anne.
