Atmospheric Electricity

Atmospheric Electricity at Durham - JA Chalmers Anniversary Meeting.

DATE

Friday 26 May 2017
14:00 - 17:00

Add Event to Calendar: Google

LOCATION

Durham University
Lecture Theatre OCW17
Ogden Centre for Fundamental Physics
Department of Physics
Durham DH1 3LE

The Physics Department at the University of Durham hosted an influential research group in atmospheric electricity until the mid-1970s, led by Professor Alan Chalmers (1904-1967). The group made fundamental findings in fair weather atmospheric electricity and the electrification of cloud and rainfall, and trained many international researchers in experimental physics. Chalmers’ book Atmospheric Electricity (2nd edition published in 1967) was a comprehensive and classic text, through which his name is still widely known. It remains an important introduction for modern researchers in atmospheric electricity. This meeting marks the fiftieth anniversary of his death and will review the contributions of the Durham group, both as a model of environmental physics activity and for its legacy to atmospheric electricity.
