Introduction to Atmospheric Chemistry, 2nd edition

by Daniel J. Jacob, Harvard University

This is the second edition of my Introduction to Atmospheric Chemistry textbook. It covers the fundamentals of the field at a level suitable for university students in science and engineering, The chapters are password-protected but I will give the password to instructors upon email request. My Lecture slides in atmospheric chemistry follow the individual chapters of the book and are a useful complement.

The book will be published by Princeton University Press toward the end of 2026 at which point it will be available for personal and institutional purchase including in e-format. This post will remain active until then.

January 15, 2026 update: I have now submitted all my files to Princeton University Press. I don’t expect further revisions unless to correct mistakes or sources of confusion (please keep them coming!)
