SEE-Chem Seminars

These seminars are a collaboration between the Atmospheric Chemistry Group in the School of Earth and Enviroment and the Atmospheric and Plantary Chemistry Group in the School of Chemistry. The meetings normally take place once a month for 1-2 hours. There are normally two speakers per seminar with one from the School of Earth and Enviroment and one from the School of Chemistry on a set research theme (e.g. air quality). Each person has between 20-30 minutes to present.

Email Richard Pope (r.j.pope@leeds.ac.uk) if you have any questions about the scheduled.
