Conference Organization

The Workshop on Agricultural Air Quality: State of the Science is being organized by an international team involved with many aspects of agricultural air quality science and policy, and is led by Viney Aneja and William Schlesinger, with staff support from the Ecological Society of America.

The 4-day meeting will include half day field trip options on one afternoon.

We anticipate that 300-400 people will attend the Workshop. The program will include a mixture of plenary, concurrent oral sessions, posters, and discussions. Authors of oral and poster papers presented at the Workshop must provide a 10-15 page manuscript for publication in the proceedings of the Workshop. They will also be invited to submit a comprehensive manuscript for dedicated special issues of peer reviewed journals (e.g., Atmospheric Environment, Journal of Environmental Quality, Journal of the Air and Waste Management Association, Journal of the American Society of Agricultural Engineering , International Journal of Environmental Pollution , and International Journal of Agricultural Resources, Governance and Ecology ).

The Workshop is being planned through the efforts of a Steering Committee and an International Executive Advisory Committee.
