Environmental Interfaces
The symposium will highlight research that is helping to understand important environmental interfaces. These gas/solid or liquid/solid interfaces might play important roles in such areas as soil, aquatic, or atmospheric chemistry. Contributions that highlight experimental and/or theoretical research of such interfaces are welcome.
