    UV Photochemistry of Carboxylic Acids at the Air-Sea Boundary: A Relevant Source of Glyoxal and other OVOC in the Marine Atmosphere
    by Randall Chiu - Analytical division 3rd year student, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and CIRES; University of Colorado Boulder
    Photochemistry plays an important role in marine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) degradation, but the mechanisms that convert DOC into volatile organic compounds (VOCs) remain poorly understood. We irradiated carboxylic acids (C7-C9) on a simulated ocean surface with UV light (
