The First week of our research consisted mostly of formal lectures given by Dr. Sattler.
Lecture topics included:
Air Pollution: An Introduction
Introduction to Air Pollution Modeling
Gaussian Dispersion Modeling
Methods of determining dispersion parameters
Determining Plume Rise
Air Pollution Meteorology- Winds
Air Pollution Meteorology- Stability
Relaxing Assumptions
We also read various chapter from The Practicle Guide to Atmospheric Dispersion Modeling by D. Bruce Turner and Richard H. Schulze

Introduction to Research for Undergraduates (REU) Program - Continued
The people
I was involved in the air dispersion modeling: planning for radiological terrorism project. This project included students: Kia Williams, Ryan Landrith,and Diamond Yocom. We worked under the supervision of Dr. Melanie Sattler and graduate student Arpita Gandhi. Diamond and Kia are from Texas A&M Kingsville both majoring in environmental engineering and Ryan is from the University of Texas Arlington majoring in biomedical engineering. Dr. Sattler is a civil engineer with an emphasis in air quality. Arpita Gandhi is a civil engineer graduate student who's master project involved air dispersion modeling. I met many of other students from various campuses involved in other projects as well as graduate students and engineering faculty at UTA.
