[eoas-seminar at lists.fsu.edu]

Dear all,

Please join us for our next Meteorology seminar on Tuesday October 14 at 3 PM, given by Professor Lee Murray<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fatmos.earth.rochester.edu%2F&data=05%7C02%7Ceoas-seminar%40lists.fsu.edu%7Cf1c83e97f23f4fb22daf08de0837d7db%7Ca36450ebdb0642a78d1b026719f701e3%7C0%7C0%7C638957233081052959%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=cGJdhPciPo8WWK%2BecnjGOZwy8YWkmwH3G94lThrraPo%3D&reserved=0> from the University of Rochester. His presentation will be "Atmosphere Chemistry Across Scales: From Drivers of Oxidative Capacity to Climate-Health Impacts" (abstract below)

Prof. Murray will present the seminar in person in 1044. A Zoom link is available for those with approved work off campus (contact Allison Wing awing at fsu.edu). Prof. Murray is also available for meetings on Tuesday — please contact awing at fsu.edu if you are interested in meeting with him. Prof. Murray studies the nexus of atmospheric chemistry and climate and his current research projects include lightning’s impact on chemistry and climate and constraining greenhouse gas emissions.

DATE: Tuesday October 4
TIME: 3-4 PM, please join early for refreshments
LOCATION:  EOA 1044 (speaker in person)
SPEAKER: Prof. Lee Murray<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fatmos.earth.rochester.edu%2F&data=05%7C02%7Ceoas-seminar%40lists.fsu.edu%7Cf1c83e97f23f4fb22daf08de0837d7db%7Ca36450ebdb0642a78d1b026719f701e3%7C0%7C0%7C638957233081064553%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=KudfBDRte58f%2FLcfcNOQlJAe2gNOJKE%2BJWgPB%2FY27xw%3D&reserved=0>

TITLE: Atmosphere Chemistry Across Scales: From Drivers of Oxidative Capacity to Climate-Health Impacts

ABSTRACT: The chemical composition of the atmosphere reflects a dynamic interplay of emissions, meteorology, and reactive chemistry. Oxidants such as hydroxyl radicals and ozone regulate the lifetimes of reactive greenhouse gases and air pollutants, shaping climate feedbacks as well as human, crop, and ecosystem exposure. Yet large uncertainties remain in how the atmosphere’s oxidative capacity responds to evolving emissions and climate change across past, present, and future time scales. This seminar examines how chemical and meteorological processes jointly control the global distribution of oxidants and their variability through space and time. Particular attention is given to lightning as a key coupling between atmospheric dynamics and chemistry, influencing the formation and transport of reactive nitrogen and radicals, and itself influenced by atmospheric composition. The discussion highlights how perturbations in chemistry and meteorology cascade through the Earth system to affect surface air quality, agricultural yields, and human health.

We look forward to seeing you there!
