Chemist to Lead Study of Titan's Moon

A chemistry professor at the University of Hawaii is leading an international team of scientists studying the atmosphere of Titan, Saturn's moon. Wayne State is among universities participating in the $2.5 million, five-year project funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation. Titan's atmosphere is considered ideal for gaining a better understanding of the early days of Earth's atmosphere. As part of the project, the team will develop teaching materials, organize annual scientific workshops and attempt to broaden the participation of minorities in research at the participating schools.
