The objective of this course is to providegraduate-level students with a comprehensive understanding of atmosphericaerosols, as well as to equip them with the skills necessary to conductscientific research in this field. Topics covered include the basic propertiesof atmospheric aerosols, aerosol microphysics and optics, aerosol chemistry,aerosol modeling, aerosol measurements, and the climate and health impacts ofatmospheric aerosols. Course materials are based on both fundamental theoriesand cutting-edge research in the relevant areas. Tutorials and assignments aredesigned to provide students with hands-on experience using some of the mostcommonly used tools in aerosol research. Finally, students are expected tocomplete a research-level term project on a topic related to atmosphericaerosols of their choice.
