SUMMARY:INTRODUCTION TO AIR QUALITY DISPERSION MODELLING COURSE
DESCRIPTION:Course Details \nTuesday\, February 11\, 2025 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM MST \nAddress: AECOM Calgary\, 3rd Floor\, 48 Quarry Park Blvd\, Calgary\, AB T2C 5P2 \nRoom: CQP-3-Bison \nPresenter: Dr. Piotr Staniaszek \nParking: $5 all-day parking is available in the AECOM building parking lot \n*Coffee\, tea and water will be available throughout the day. In addition\, light breakfast options and a lunch is included in the cost of the workshop. \nGeneral Course Description \nThis one-day introductory course is designed for permitting staff\, regulators\, consultants\, engineers\, students\, and managers with ambient air quality management responsibilities. The course will consist of technical lectures with relevant examples. Topics include air quality issues\, fundamentals of meteorology\, air quality model types and selection\, and emission estimates. There will be no hands-on training. For a detailed course outline\, click here. \nAt the end of the course\, attendees will: \n\n have a better understanding of the key meteorological processes that impact air quality;\n be able to select the appropriate model(s) to address specific air quality issues; and\n be able to assess necessary input data and critically review air quality modelling studies.\n\nSpeaker Bio \nDr. Piotr Staniaszek has more than 30 years of experience in air quality consulting including more than 27 years as an air dispersion modeller. He has managed and executed numerous dispersion modeling projects throughout whole Canada including Alberta\, BC\, Saskatchewan\, and Manitoba. He has organized and co-instructed several CALPUFF/CALMET introductory and advanced courses. Dr. Staniaszek has been a Sessional Instructor at the University of Calgary for many years.  Dr. Staniaszek has experience developing emissions inventories\, models and preparation of Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) for the oil sands\, sand\, gravel quarries\, coal\, potash\, gold\, diamond\, and mineral mines\, and petrochemical industries. He has written numerous air quality management plans including flaring and dust management plans. Presently\, Dr. Staniaszek is Senior Air Quality Scientist\, Global Air Quality Modelling Specialty Lead for AECOM\, Canadas Ltd. \nRegistration: \nRegistration and payment options are available through the links below.
