Outreach Activities
Professor Grassian and her group are involved in a range of activities related to teaching and outreach. Mentoring and training the next generation of future scientist are important activities to all group members. Research focus areas of the Grassian group (environment, climate, health, nanoscience) are of broad interest to a variety of active learners that includes elementary school/middle school/junior high school students and their parents, high school students and retirees. Grassian group members have opportunities to give talks, interact, demonstrate and teach about their research and its benefits to society.

Particles in the atmosphere provide reactive surfaces for adsorption as well as for chemical and photochemical reactions.
The Grassian research group collaborates with chemists and other scientists in the Center for Aerosol Impacts on Chemistry and Climate (CAICE) to study the chemistry of sea spray aerosol. CAICE is a Chemical Center of Innovation funded by NSF.
Fe nanoparticles, such as goethite, alpha-FeOOH, nanorods, show unique reactivity with atmospheric water vapor and reactive gases (e.g. nitric acid) compared to microrods. Studies of nanoscale reactivity in environmental and human health processes are currently being investigated.
