Studies of the atmospheres of other planets are of considerable             interest as basic research.  Additional interest results from the               fact that these studies often turn out to have application to the               earth's atmosphere.  This grant funds a theoretical and experimental            study of the chemistry and chemical evolution of the earth and other            planetary atmospheres.                                                              The objectives of the project are: (1) to accomplish theoretical            and modeling studies of the chemistry of existing planetary                     atmospheres; (2) to experimentally investigate the sulfur chemistry             of the earth's atmosphere; (3) to develop a unified theory of the               origin and chemical evolution of planetary atmospheres.  This work              will include studies of the sulfur cycles of Venus and the earth's              atmospheres and the nitrogen, phosphorus and germanium chemistry in             planetary atmospheres.  Subsequent research will be directed at the             non-equilbrium chemistry of volcanoes and nebula, and the atmospheric           chemical effects resulting from the impact of comets and asteroids              with planets.
