Ozone Depletion at the Ends of the Earth and Points in Between
Susan Solomon, Senior Scientist, Aeronomy Laboratory, NOAA, Boulder, Colorado.
Thursday, April 3, 1997
ECCR 200
5:00pm-6:30pm

Abstract:
Significant changes in the abundances of stratospheric ozone were first observed in the Antarctic but now extend over much of the globe. Measurements have established that chlorine chemistry due to human releases of chlorofluorocarbons is responsible for the annual ozone decrease popularly known as the "ozone hole". Significant ozone changes have also been observed in the Arctic and at mid-latitudes. Measurements of ozone changes throughout the world will be discussed, observations of related chemicals will be presented, and the current state of knowledge of present and future ozone depletion will be summarized. New research results relating to the causes of mid-latitude ozone depletion will also be presented, and projections of when the Antarctic ozone hole may 'close' will be described.

SIAM Information

The CU Boulder undergraduate chapter of SIAM, one of the newest engineering societies at CU, was founded to promote interactions between Applied Math students and faculty. In addition to applied math undergraduates and some graduate students, SIAM has also attracted students from other engineering disciplines to its activities. Society functions include technical presentations by students, faculty, and industry speakers, field trips and student/faculty social events---all designed to introduce undergraduates to the widespread use of applied mathematics in engineering and the sciences. All interested students, from any major, are encouraged to participate in SIAM-sponsored events. For more information, call (2-6927) or stop by the office (ECCR 238), or email siam@newton.

Some of our activities include meetings, mentor lunches, and field trips. Meetings consist of guest speakers, student and industry panels, and other varying fields of interest. Mentor lunches allow undergraduate students to meet a member of the faculty and upperclassmen. All SIAM functions are paid for by the organization, which is all the more reason to get involved!
