Opportunities for Collaboration

Opportunities and Partnerships

ACOM conducts collaborative research focusing on two major scientific challenges, Air Quality Prediction Research and Interactions between Chemistry and the Climate/Weather System. The work is conducted in partnership with other entities within NCAR, and with other members of the wider atmospheric chemistry community.

Community Hub

ACOM Visitor Program

Partnerships with the wider science community are at the heart of the NCAR mission, and are an important component of all research conducted within ACOM. Strong collaborations with University groups are in particular paramount to the NCAR and ACOM mission.
