UCAR Member Renewal
1. The University of Denver
The University of Denver has been a UCAR member since 1966.
Atmospheric science research and instruction are carried out
in the Department of Geography, Department of Chemistry and
Biochemistry, Department of Physics and Astronomy, and Department
of Engineering.
The undergraduate and graduate atmospheric science courses
emphasize atmospheric and environmental chemistry, radiation,
and general meteorology and climatology. These courses provide
students with a solid foundation for careers in air quality
related fields. During the period 1999-2002 eighteen B.S.,
six M.S. and five Ph.D. degrees were completed. The department's
projection for the completion of future degrees is consistent
with the 1999-2002 numbers. The graduate students are primarily
funded through teaching assistantships, research assistantships
and fellowships. Students who have graduated from the various
departments have been successful in obtaining careers in meteorology
related fields. These careers cover a broad spectrum, including
civilian government, military, and the private sector.
Faculty members from the various departments are active in
atmospheric science related research and publish in many of
the leading journals. Faculty extramural funding is good and
is received from a number of agencies, including NASA, NSF,
and NOAA.
The computing facilities, research facilities and meteorological
instrumentation are extensive and serve both the research
and instructional needs of the faculty and students. The research
facilities include a climate lab, pollen lab, and geographical
information science lab. The instrumentation includes a number
of instruments for spectroscopy, aerosol characterization
equipment, and three on-road emissions monitoring systems.
Faculty members from the various departments participate
in UCAR/NCAR activities and are members/users of UCAR/UNIDATA.
The UCAR Membership Committee concludes that the membership
criteria are fulfilled and recommends to the Members' Representatives
that the membership of the University of Denver be continued
as provided by the bylaws.
