UNC Group on Atmospheric Science & Pollution
UNC-GASP provides a forum for discussing research in air pollution. We focus on air pollution science, but also consider related topics: climate change, human health effects, air pollution control, environmental management and policy, and industrial hygiene.
We meet weekly during the semester, on Fridays at noon in Hooker 2005. Most discussions are led by graduate students at UNC, and we sometimes invite outside speakers.
For more information, or to be added to a distribution list and receive weekly announcements, please contact Professor Jason West (jasonwest@unc.edu).
