16–20 October 2017, Raleigh Convention Center, Raleigh, North Carolina
36th AAAR Annual Conference
Dear Colleagues:
On behalf of the conference organizers, it is my great pleasure to invite you to the 36th AAAR Annual Conference to be held October 16-20 at the Raleigh Convention Center in Raleigh, North Carolina. We expect the conference to provide an outstanding venue for sharing our latest aerosol science and technology research, while networking and re-connecting with colleagues.
The 2017 Conference will feature a full slate of tutorials on Monday on a wide range of aerosol science topics including the popular "Hands-on Aerosol Instrumentation Design and Measurement" tutorial.
An exciting array of plenary talks, special symposia, poster sessions, platform presentations, and special events will take place from Tuesday morning through Friday noon. As is the AAAR tradition, each of these days will start with an 8 a.m. plenary lecture. Our outstanding lineup of plenary speakers for 2017 includes Andrea Ferro (Clarkson University), Markus Kraft (University of Cambridge), Joel Thornton (University of Washington), and Vicki Grassian (UC San Diego/Scripps Institution of Oceanography).
The exhibit area, open Tuesday through Thursday, will provide opportunities to engage with and learn from leading companies offering instrumentation and services in aerosol science and technology. On Wednesday morning at 6:30 a.m. we will have a 5K group run/walk. On Thursday afternoon, we have arranged for technical tours to the Environmental Protection Agency laboratories. You can sign up for these events when registering for the conference.
We will have five symposia designed to bridge multiple areas and promote cross-disciplinary interaction on the following topics:
- There Must be Something in the Water: Cloud, Fog and Aerosol Aqueous Chemistry for Aerosol Production
- Passive Mitigation Strategies to Reduce Exposure to Near-Road Air Pollution
- Linking Aerosol Oxidative Potential with Chemical Composition and Biological Endpoints
- Extraterrestrial Aerosols: From Mars to Titan and Beyond
- Regional and Global Air Quality and Climate Modeling
