Mario Molina, one of three atmospheric chemists to share the 1995 Nobel Prize, will deliver a chemistry colloquium on campus on April 4 at 4:40 p.m.
Molina and Rowland closely calculated the mean atmospheric lifetimes of typical CFCs and deduced the catalytic role of the released chlorine atoms in the destruction of ozone molecules.
