Atmospheric Chemistry and Air Quality at the University of Colorado

Overview

Boulder is arguably one of the world's centers in the fields of Atmospheric Chemistry & Air Pollution Research, thanks to the high concentration and quality of faculty and researchers at the University of Colorado (CU), the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), and the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory ESRL, plus the added critical mass from researchers at nearby Colorado State University (CSU) and the University of Denver (DU) .

This page attemps to summarize the opportunities available to beginning graduate students (and postdocs) at the University of Colorado.
