Owen will lecture on site characterization with a focus on conceptual model
development and the path and process of site characterization. Dr.
David Rudolph is a Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental
Sciences at the University of Waterloo specializing in physical hydrogeology and
groundwater protection and management. He is a geological engineer graduating
from the University of Manitoba and received his M. Sc. and Ph. D. at the University
of Waterloo in Hydrogeology. His specific areas of research activity include field
investigation and numerical modeling related to groundwater flow and contaminant
transport with a special interest in fractured sediment and unsaturated porous
media. Dr. Rudolph has worked extensively in the development and application of
field data collection techniques for application to groundwater resource management
problems and unsaturated zone flow and transport investigations. He also participates
extensively with municipal authorities both nationally and internationally in
the development of groundwater protection and management strategies. Dr. Rudolph
will lecture on Subsurface Characterization Tools and Techniques with a focus
on Soil and Groundwater Sampling. Dr.
Paul Sibley is
an Assistant Professor at Guelph University who specialises in the assessment
of potentially contaminated environmental media (water, soils, and sediments).
His current fields of research include assessment of water and sediment quality,
invertebrate toxicology, benthic invertebrate community assessment in streams
and lakes, impacts on riparian zones. His relevant research experience includes:
collecting, and processing site-specific water, sediment and soil samples for
physical, chemical, and biological characterisation, analysis and interpretation
of water, sediment, and soil quality data from field surveys and risk assessments,
and development of provincial and federal water and soil quality guidelines and
objectives for metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, pesticides and priority substances.
Dr. Sibley has extensive knowledge of the fate and effects of contaminants in
both aquatic and terrestrial environments. Dr. Sibley will present the Practical
Considerations for Collection of Sediment Samples for Chemical and Biological
Assessment. Participants in this lecture will gain an understanding of the issues
associated with and factors that might influence the collection, handling, storage,
and transportation of potentially contaminated sediments. Jim
Love is a Managing Partner of Performance
Advantage with thirty years of business and IT experience. His consulting
experience comes from senior roles at Ernst & Young, DMR and Fujitsu Consulting,
where he headed the global Value Management consulting practice, which produced
the bestseller, The Information Paradox. He trained and was certified
in change management with ODR, the organization which spearheaded the concepts
and processes that have become part of what we now term organizational change.
His work has been published in prestigious journals such as Intelligent Enterprise,
the Cutter IT Journal and others. Jim has in-depth expertise in a range of areas
including Lean & Six Sigma, Organizational Change, Strategic Planning, Performance
Metrics and CRM. He is regarded as an expert in the strategic use of IT and continues
to advise large companies on strategic technology issues including Strategic Alignment,
IT governance as well as Project and Portfolio Management. His clients have included
very large private sector companies such as Inco, Bell Canada, the Royal Bank,
and Cisco Systems. He has also done significant work in the public sector with
a wide range of companies. Jim will conduct a workshop on the use of web-based
project management tools for contaminated site programs and projects. Dr.
