2012 International Emission Inventory Conference - Call for Papers

The U.S. EPA's 2012 Annual International Emission Inventory Conference will be held in Tampa Florida, August 13 through 16, 2012 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. Participating organizations involved in emission inventory development and emissions modeling are expected to include state, local, tribal, regional, international agencies, industry and academia.

As with the past U.S. EPA's Inventory Conferences, this year's conference proposes to include a Global / International Issues Session with paper topics suggested to support the conference theme. The session will be developed based on the abstracts received for papers and presentations related to these topics.

This year's conference focuses on how emission inventories meet the challenges posed by emerging global, national, regional and local air quality issues including how inventories can be used to assess the impacts of long-range transport on local NAAQS and may be adapted to support emerging climate issues such as multi-pollutant, sector specific strategies for air quality and climate benefits.

You or others that you know may be working on such related issues. We invite you to submit a short abstract proposing a topic you would like to present during the conference. Please also forward this note to others you think may be interested in attending this conference and participating in this session. Travel expenses must be supported by the participant.

The conference call for papers is located at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/conference/index_papers.html and describes how to submit abstracts.

Abstracts are due by January 27.
