Final Project
Students will write a paper and give a 15 minute presentation at the end of the quarter. A list of possible topics is included below, or students can pick a topic of their own choosing. e paper should be 5-10 pages long (~1.5 line spacing) and include more than 10 references. 

The class presentations will take place on Monday June 9 and Wednesday June 11 at 9:30 am in ATG 610.
 
Name Topic
Monday June 9 (9:30 am)
Dave Reidmiller The composition of sulfate aerosols and their radiative effects
Sarah Strode Halogen chemistry in the marine boundary layer
Lisa Brines Mercury chemistry in the atmosphere
Junhe Lu Halogen chemistry in the marine boundary layer
Wednesday June 11 (9:30 am)
Ben Larson SAT and NAT cloud chemistry
Patrick Zahn Pollution in the LA Basin?
Julia Jarvis Paleo record of nitrate deposition
Jennifer Kay Climate change and stratospheric ozone: the water budget
Louise Leahy Biomass burning

 

Potential topics:

  • The effects of global warming on the recovery of the stratospheric ozone
  • Composition of Polar stratospheric clouds
  • Biomass burning, and its effect on tropospheric ozone levels in tropical regions. 
  • Halogen chemistry in the marine boundary layer
  • Ozone depletion events in the arctic boundary layer
  • Is the global oxidizing capacity of the atmosphere changing?
  • Satellite observations of tropospheric composition
  • Satellite observations of stratospheric composition
  • Lightning and the global NOx budget
  • Recent trends in CH4
  • Effects of aerosols on tropospheric ozone
  • Formation of the stratospheric ozone layer in Earth's early atmosphere (~2 billion years ago)
