Association calls for abstracts for GHG Measurement Symposium.
Press Release Summary:
Scheduled for March 23-24, International Greenhouse Gas Measurement Symposium will provide forum to discuss novel concepts in GHG emission source measurement, measurement-based modeling, and surrogate-monitoring assessment in context of future compliance, verification, and emission trading strategies. Example abstract topics include CH4 emissions from landfills and agricultural operations, GHG emissions from fugitive and area sources, and quantification of GHG up-take from soils.

Air & Waste Management Association Issues Call for Abstracts for Greenhouse Gas Measurement Symposium
Pittsburgh, PA (November 10, 2008) The Air & Waste Management Association (A&WMA) has issued a call for abstracts for the first international Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Measurement Symposium, to be held March 23-24, 2009, in San Francisco, CA.
The symposium will provide a forum to discuss novel concepts in GHG emission source measurement, measurement-based modeling, and surrogate-monitoring assessment in the context of future compliance, verification, and emission trading strategies.
A&WMA is seeking abstracts and platform presentation topics that include, but are not limited to:
o CH4 emissions from landfills and agricultural operations
o GHG emissions from fugitive and area sources
o CO2 sequestration field monitoring
o Quantification of GHG up-take from soils
o Assessment of whole-site GHG emissions from large industrial facilities
o GHG emissions from small industrial and commercial sources
o Use of surrogates monitoring for estimating GHG emissions
o Integration of GHG experimental and modeling studies
o Measurement related verification requirements for GHG trading markets
o Offset verification and modeling
Abstracts of 300 words or less should be submitted to Carrie Hartz at chartz@awma.org for review by December 5, 2008. Authors will be notified of acceptance by January 16, 2009.
