levels in order to allow time for research development and scholarly 
activities. Additional information about the department
is available at http://www.ce.wsu.edu.

The Laboratory for Atmospheric Research is an air quality and climate 
change research group with a strong reputation for
both measurement and modeling studies of air quality, atmospheric 
chemistry, and climate change (http://www.lar.wsu.edu).
There are nine faculty members in LAR, and the group collaborates with 
WSU faculty and outside scientists across a broad
range  of  topics.  The  LAR  is  a  focal  point  for measurement  and  
modeling  studies  supported  through  the Northwest  Air
Quality  Environmental  Science  &  Technology (NW-AIRQUEST)  
consortium,  which  includes  active participation  by
federal, state, and local air quality agencies throughout the Northwest 
(http://lar.wsu.edu/nw-airquest/).  In this role, LAR
is responsible for the daily operation, maintenance and development of 
the AIRPACT regional air quality forecast system
(http://lar.wsu.edu/airpact/).
