Photochemistry on Atmospheric Aerosols; Fundamental Reaction Dynamics of Sunlight Initiated Processing of Organic Molecules in Aqueous Environments

环境化学科学（ECS）计划将支持教授的合作研究项目。科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的Veronica Vaida和Rex Skodje说。合作研究人员和他们的学生将采用理论建模和先进的激光光谱方法，包括腔衰荡和腔增强光谱，研究水对二次有机气溶胶形成和化学反应性的影响。该项目将增加我们对二次有机气溶胶的分子水平的了解，并有助于提高气候模型预测的准确性。该项目将为本科生和研究生在具有重要社会意义的前沿研究领域提供良好的培训机会。

The Environmental Chemical Science (ECS) program will support the collaborative research project of Profs. Veronica Vaida and Rex Skodje of the University of Colorado at Boulder. The collaborating investigators and their students will employ a combination of theoretical modeling and advanced laser-based spectroscopic methods including cavity ringdown and cavity enhanced spectroscopy to study the effect of water on the formation and chemical reactivity of secondary organic aerosols. The project will increase our molecular level understanding of secondary organic aerosols and contribute to increasing the accuracy of prediction of climate models. The project will provide excellent training opportunities to undergraduate and graduate students in a cutting edge research area of great societal importance.
