Astrochemistry Lecture Note Prepared by Adwin Boogert Herschel Science
Center - NASA A short lecture note. Kind of a nice basic course on
astrochemistry, though: the chemistry of interstellar space, chemical reactions
in space, techniques for observing interstellar molecules, evolution of the
molecule and its implications for astrobiology.

It is a graduate course
note led by Prof. Jose-Luis Jimenez, and explorations into atmospheric chemistry
principles had been quite informative. Some of the topics covered include global
circulation, chemical transport, spectroscopy, and some more key atmospheric
processes. The note has focused around the chemistry of inorganic nitrogen and
acid deposition as well as around the role of aerosols, cloud, and fog
chemistry. The program seems to look for making sure students get a profound
understanding of complexity in the atmosphere and many other factors that go
into its chemistry, especially as it relates to environmental concerns.
