Welcome to the Arsenic Project Website for Spring 2008

 

This site supports the activities of students at UMass Amherst and partner institutions (Forest Park and Chestnut Middle Schools in Springfield) who are engaged in research related to the biogeochemical, environmental and analytical chemistry of arsenic. The site is maintained by the project director, Professor Julian Tyson. The site is currently under construction (change over from earlier versions) and was last updated on 2/14/2008 at 12:15 pm.

The kick-off meeting for the spring semester 2008 program will be on Tuesday Feb 19th at 5:30 pm in LGRT 115.
