V. Faye McNeill, professor of chemical engineering and earth and environmental sciences at Columbia University, will present “Bridging Scales in Atmospheric Chemistry” in Guyot Hall, Room 10.
A fundamental challenge of atmospheric chemistry is bridging the gap between the detailed molecular-level knowledge generated by laboratory experiments and computationally intensive large-scale models. Dr. McNeill will discuss recent progress in automated model reduction, and case studies illustrating her group’s approach, using process models to: (a) extract kinetic parameters necessary for modeling novel chemistry from laboratory studies; (b) evaluate the potential impact of that chemistry under ambient environmental conditions; (c) parameterize these processes for large-scale modeling; and (d) focus and inform future laboratory studies. She will also discuss recent laboratory work related to the stratospheric heterogeneous chemistry of candidate Stratospheric Aerosol Injection materials and implications for their potential impact on stratospheric ozone.
