Atmospheric dispersion modeling is a useful skill for understanding how air pollutants disperse in the atmosphere in different environments and atmospheres. This panel will provide students and young professionals with a basic knowledge of air dispersion modeling, the different models available, and tips and best practices to help determine how and when modeling can be useful and necessary. This panel is Part 1 of the “How Does It Work? Air Modeling” session. The panelists will include representatives from industries who use modeling at their workplace for various projects. The panel will conclude with open discussions and Q&A which will provide students and YPs the opportunity to interact with the panel members. This is a great introductory panel presentation for all attendees but is focused on reaching the student/young professional attendee.
