The following describes an upcoming workshop of
potential interest to DCHAS members:
Stray Gas Workshop, November 4-6, 2009
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: This workshop will focus on the
scientific basis for assessment of, and various types of geochemical
analyses for, stray or fugitive gases. Stray gases can originate from a
variety of sources and accumulate in natural and man-made spaces where
dispersion and ventilation are inadequate. Gas accumulation can lead to
problems where the fugitive nature of gases is a major safety concern.
Tools and strategies for investigating stray gases, along with case
studies, will be presented by scientists and specialists whose work has
focused on the origins, migration, and accumulation of gases. The
workshop is co-sponsored by the U.S. Geological Survey and Pittsburgh
Geological Society, with support from the Office of Surface Mining and
the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Protection.
The
workshop planners are seeking additional presenters and the call
for abstracts is open until September 15, 2009. Interested in
attending? The deadline for registration is September 30, 2009.
Additional information on the workshop, including an on-line
registration form, can be found at http://pa.water.usgs.gov/stray_gas/
