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.

Organizational Info for Spring 2015

  • We will meet in Ekeley W165, Tue & Thu 9:30-10:45 am
  • Tentative course schedule
  • Suggested textbooks: Jacob, Finlayson-Pitts & Pitts, Seinfeld & Pandis
