click = more Dr. Judith Patterson is an associate professor in Geology at Concordia University Judith Patterson, Ph.D.

Hi Diana & David- I am back from Los Vegas, where my girlfriend has a swimming pool and automatic irrigation system for her garden and grass lawn.

This morning on the radio I heard about the low water levels in the great lakes and St. Lawrence. Two ships have gotten stranded, due to low water, in the Lake St. Clair area, between Lake Erie and Lake Huron. Water levels in the Montreal dock area are 2 metres below normal. Can you imagine if we were committed to exporting a specific quantity to the states so they could water their lawns and fill their swimming pools?

I got all my diagrams done for my talk after a very late Wednesday night in the office, and now tomorrow (Monday) the conference starts, and ends at noon on Wednesday. So see you Wednesday night!

Judith Patterson, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Concordia's Geology Programme has written a number of papers on aviation matters pertaining to alternative fuels and her expertise lies particularly in the area of environmental impact assessments at airports (consequently, polluted water). Here are the topics that were covered in her reading list last year on water:

  • pollution of ground and surface waters from roadway runoff
  • toxic metal loading into streams from runoff
  • herbicide runoff (from farms) into the Mississippi R.
  • nutrient changes in the Gulf of Mexico (some dead zones) due to fertilizer runoff into the Mississippi
  • pesticide contamination in the sediments in the Arabian Sea off India
  • arsenic in groundwater in India and Bangladesh (due to over drawing on wells)
  • the Aral Sea
  • nitrogen overloading

Half-Day Courses (Beginning at 8:00 am)

AIR-286
The Airport Emission Inventory

The purpose of the course is to introduce participants to the concepts, processes, and practical aspects of conducting an airport emission inventory.  As the greatest single contributor to emissions at airports are aircraft, aviation emissions will be the major, but not exclusive, subject of the short course. Topics covered:

davidnicholson's photos tagged with judithpatterson More of davidnicholson's photos tagged with judithpatterson
  • All sources, mobile and stationary, that go into a complete airport inventory

  • Identification of the principal, major sources of pollutants and greenhouse gases at airports

  • The landing and takeoff cycle

  • Review of existing computer assisted methods for calculating annual aircraft emissions

  • A walk-through of actual calculations

  • The effect of changing engine technologies on aircraft emissions

  • The effect of changing technologies on annual inventories; examples from Canada and Europe

  • Potential means for airport management to maintain or reduce emissions and their environmental impact

Aviation is growing at a faster rate than the world economy, and this trend is predicted to continue into the next century.  Emissions from aviation are expected to increase in the next decade, both in absolute terms, and as a relative percentage of transportation-generated fossil fuel combustion products, due in part to emission reductions from other transport-related sectors.  It is therefore of increasing importance to quantify the emissions from this sector as accurately as possible. Instructor:  Dr. Judith Patterson, Concordia University

  • Dr. Judith Patterson holds a Ph.D. in earth science from Virginia Tech.  She is a tenured Associate Professor at Concordia University in Montreal, where she teaches environmental science and conducts research on aviation and environmental impact assessment.  She has numerous publications in the field of emission inventories, specifically relating to airports and aviation.

  • Judith G. Patterson works in anthropogenic emissions inventories. She also studies different opportunities, like transport substitution, to reduce air pollution.
  • Transportation must adapt to 21st century ..Having conquered the skies, airports and airlines must now face the growing challenge of dealing with air and noise pollution, Geology Professor Judith Patterson said to Aviation MBA students last week.

I received my Ph.D. from VPI in 1987. Lynn Glover was my supervisor. I am now at Concordia University, in Geology - but you can’t say Geology Department, because it was closed last year (see my address below). I am now the last full-time geologist at Concordia, which used to produce some of Canada’s finest undergraduate geologists.

Since I completed my Ph.D., I have shifted my research and teaching to environmental science, specifically inventories of atmospheric emissions from fossil fuel combustion in the transportation sector. I have worked in North America and Europe (mainly France). Cafes in Paris sure beat spending the summer in a tent in the Arctic!

I want to emphasize the contribution that geology makes to environmental science. I teach a senior undergraduate - graduate course "Current Research in Environmental Earth Science" which draws students from many different departments - Geology (well, the last few students), Geography, Biology, and Civil Engineering. And I teach them geology! We look at mantle-atmosphere interactions, weathering and atmospheric CO drawdown, subduction and metamorphism and CO emissions, just to name a few areas. How many environmentalists know that the mantle is the earth’s biggest reservoir of atmospheric CO?

I’ve really rambled on here. I live in a wonderful old neighborhood, close to downtown Montreal, and have a huge apartment with skylight and fireplace. I inherited a cottage four years ago, sadly, when my godmother died. My dog Sabrina is now ten years old.

Sincerely,

Judith Patterson, Ph.D.
Associate Professor Geology
Concordia University
