Marianne Hatzopoulou Ph.D. Associate Professor, University of Toronto
Prof. Hatzopoulou is Canada Research Chair in Transportation and Air Quality and Associate Professor in Civil and Mineral Engineering at the University of Toronto. Her expertise is in modelling road transport emissions and urban air quality as well as evaluating population exposure to air pollution. Her research aims to capture the interactions between the daily activities and travel patterns of urban dwellers and the generation and dispersion of traffic emissions in urban environments. She has developed regional transportation emission inventories for Toronto, Montreal, and Philadelphia as well as evaluated the potential of travel demand and technology scenarios on emission reductions. She has been invited on a number of panels and colloquia to speak about strategies to reduce transportation-related emissions. In addition, she leads an active research stream in characterizing air pollution exposure. She spearheaded large air pollution monitoring campaigns and investigated potential determinants of exposure. She works closely with epidemiologists in the development of improved measures for air pollution exposure and has received funding from federal and provincial health agencies to conduct integrative research in transportation engineering, air pollution, and public health. She serves on the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine as the committee research coordinator for the standing committee on “Transportation and Air Quality” (ADC20).

Grant Whitehead M.E.S., P.Geo. (Limited) Senior Hydrogeologist / Project Manager, Stantec Inc.
Grant Whitehead is a Senior Hydrogeologist and Project Manager with the Physical Environment team of Stantec’s Environmental Services division in Waterloo. For the past 18 years, he has either managed and/or been the principal investigator for numerous groundwater supply and protection evaluations, regulatory agency permitting and compliance studies, water balance and construction dewatering assessments, and a variety of groundwater monitoring and hydrogeological impact investigations associated with municipal, commercial, industrial, residential, and renewable energy developments throughout Ontario. Mr. Whitehead has a thorough understanding of geological and groundwater conditions in southern Ontario, having completed multiple field-based and desktop-level hydrogeological investigations for land development projects. These studies have largely focused on assessing the impact of proposed developments on groundwater recharge and flow regimes, groundwater inputs to sensitive surface water features, groundwater quality, municipal wellhead protection areas and local private water supplies, and zones of high aquifer vulnerability. Through this work, he has also developed a firm understanding of the Ontario Water Resources Act and accompanying groundwater protection legislation.
