Astrobiology
What is the origin of life? Does it exist on other worlds? These two cosmological questions have captivated human curiosity for as long as we have had the capacity to wonder. These are questions that unify us across disciplines and schools at Georgia Tech and beyond. For most of our history, our conversations and explorations of these ideas have been imaginative, cultural, and philosophical.
Satellite Constraint Source specific Nitrogen Oxide Emissions and Isoprene Chemistry in the Southeast United States Evaluations and Implications for Background Ozone
Nitrogen oxides (NO x NO NO 2 originating from combustion, lightning and soil, are the main drivers of the tropospheric ozone formation and important precursors of secondary organic aerosols, with consequences for human health, climate and ecosystem Isoprene, the most important biogenic volatile organic compounds (globally, accounts for about half of the BVOC emissions 500 Tg yr 1 Its rapid oxidation in the presence of NO x is a main driver of atmospheric chemistry Detailed and accurate estimations of NO x emissions and a better understanding of isoprene chemis
