Annual Dinner Meeting Using Particle Composition and Source Signatures to Identify Sources of Fine Particulate Matter during Wintertime Inversions along the Wasatch Front The Salt Lake Section of the Society of Petroleum Engineers will host its Annual Dinner Meeting on Tuesday, August 26, 2014 at the Utah Department of Natural Resources, 1594 W. North Temple, DNR Auditorium (Rooms 1040, 1050, 1060), Salt Lake City, 84114. A map is provided at the end of this meeting announcement. Kerry Kelly, Associate Director of the Program for Air Quality, Health, and Society and a Research Associate at the University of Utah will be the guest speaker and will discuss some of the causes and sources of fine particulate matter and how that knowledge might help in developing solutions to improve air quality along the Wasatch Front. Attendees and spouses/significant others should check in with security in the building lobby and then plan on gathering in the Auditorium and paying for dinner starting at 6:00 PM; dinner will start at 6:30 PM with Ms. Kelly’s presentation beginning around 7:00 PM. Access to the DNR parking lot is only available on westbound North Temple or northbound Redwood Road. The cost is $25.00 for members and guests, and we are pleased to offer a reduced rate of $15.00 for students and their guests. Please RSVP to Dustin Doucet, email: [email protected] or (801) 538-5281 by close-of-business on August 15, 2014. Please try to adhere to the deadline for reservations in order to keep costs down.
Abstract: The winter of 2013/2014 was another challenging season in terms of air quality, with Salt Lake County exceeding EPA’s National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for PM2.5 on 31 days. In order to develop the best strategies to meet NAAQS, it is critical to understand the meteorology, the atmospheric chemistry and the sources that cause high levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Kerry will

discuss the meteorological and atmospheric chemistry causes of high levels of fine particulate matter during inversions, her work on identifying the sources fine particulate matter and a variety of ongoing work to understand and improve air quality along the Wasatch.
Biography: Kerry Kelly is Associate Director of the Program for Air Quality, Health, and Society and a Research Associate in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Institute for Clean and Secure Energy at the University of Utah. She is also a professional engineer and Vice Chair of the State Air Quality Board. Her research focuses on air quality, carbon management and the evaluation of emerging energy technologies including consideration of their associated health, environmental, policy and performance issues. In her spare time, she is completing her PhD. Recently her work on the contributors to fine particulate matter during winter-time inversions along the Wasatch Front was cited by Governor Herbert in his state-of-the-state address.
