Entry: 2010 Atmospheric Sciences Spring Lecture - Atmospheric
Aerosols: Unsung warriors in the battle against global warming
When: 4/8/10 7:30 PM - 4/8/10 8:30 PM
Where: Kane Hall, Room 120
Speaker: Dr. John Seinfeld. Microscopic particles, called
aerosols, play a central role in the chemistry and physics of the Earth's
atmosphere. While greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide warm the planet,
aerosols, on the whole, cool the globe. The increase in atmospheric
aerosols since pre-industrial time means the Earth has not warmed as much
as it would have from the increase of greenhouse gases alone.
