Description: Study the effects of air pollution on clouds at a unique laboratory located high in the Colorado Rockies. Learn to collect cloud droplets and snow crystals to determine their physical properties and chemical compositions. Selected samples will be returned to CCNY for further analyses. Results will be presented in a final report and presented at a department seminar at the end of the spring semester. BCC students will also have to present their work at the Annual American Chemical Society Undergraduate Research Symposium and the BCC Science fair in February 2004.

Requirements: Science and engineering majors who have completed EAS106 or equivalent (CHM11 or ENV11 at BCC). Students must be willing to work in a cold and windy environment as a member of a team. Ski lessons and equipment will be provided along with a stipend to help defray costs. For the BCC participants, all expenses will be paid.
