ACOM Seminars

The ACOM Seminar series is an opportunity for NSF NCAR staff and visitors to share scientific information that is of general interest to the Atmospheric Chemistry Observations & Modeling Laboratory. Seminars are typically held on Thursday mornings with a reception at 10:45 am and the seminar starting at 11:00 am in the Main Seminar Room at the Foothills Laboratory (FL2-1022). Seminars may be held at other times and locations to accommodate interesting speakers whose schedules don't fit the normal schedule.

The seminars are organized by the ACOM seminar committee, Qing Ye and Kyle Zarzana. If you would like to present a seminar, have a visitor who would like to present a seminar, or have a suggestion for a seminar speaker or topic that we should cover, please send us an e-mail.
