Laboratory Kinetics of Relevance to the Earth's Atmosphere Job at National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Pasadena, CA
This research opportunity is focused on the study of elementary reactions and photochemical processes important in Earth atmosphere. We focus on radical-radical reactions that control the oxidizing capacity of the earth's troposphere. Our work also includes the study of mechanisms for the formation of urban smog and the degradation of tropospheric air quality by pollutants and biogenic hydrocarbons. We use state-of-the-art techniques for the study of reaction mechanisms and photochemical processes including laser photolysis and discharge-flow, combined with detection by laser-induced fluorescence, cavity ringdown and frequency modulation spectroscopy and chemical ionization mass spectroscopy.
