About the authors:
D. Bruce Turner, C.C.M.
A certified consulting meteorologist with 31 years of service at the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Mr. Turner is one of
the world’s premier authorities on atmospheric dispersion modeling. He
authored the first short-term computerized dispersion model in 1964 and
has authored many air quality simulation models since then that have
been widely applied throughout the world. He is the author of more than
60 publications including the groundbreaking Workbook of Atmospheric Dispersion Estimates.
He received the Air & Waste Management Association’s Frank A.
Chambers award for his leadership “in practical application of
meteorology to air pollution problems, especially for his outstanding
work with atmospheric dispersion estimates.”
Richard H. Schulze, P.E., QEP
Mr. Schulze is a registered Professional Engineer, Qualified
Environmental Professional, and a Diplomat of the Academy of
Environmental Engineers with more than 30 years experience assisting
industrial firms with air quality regulatory compliance including the
application of air dispersion models to evaluate air impacts. Since
1974, Mr. Schulze has taught short courses on dispersion modeling to
well over 2000 environmental professionals and he has authored more
than 30 related articles. Mr. Schulze is past president of the Air
& Waste Management Association and founder and chairman of the
