About the Meeting

The meeting is intended for scientists, resource managers, educators, students, policymakers, and others interested in atmospheric deposition, air quality, and its effects on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. NADP data has been used for decades to understand and solve real-world problems impacting people and the planet, including helping to facilitate cleaner water, healthier air quality, more productive fisheries, informed environmental planning, improved air quality and climate forecasting, and responsible environmental stewardship.

Agenda at a Glance

October 23, 2023: NADP Business Meetings

All attendees are welcome to attend the science committee meetings on Monday and Tuesday. There is no charge for the Technical and Science Committee meetings. Science Committees are focused on key areas of atmospheric deposition, scientific interest and/or applications, and are made up of NADP members who collaborate between meetings to apply NADP data to real-world problems. Whether you are new to NADP or a long-time member, if there is a topic that interests you, please join us in helping us move air quality science forward.

Symposium Theme: NADP 2023: Climate change impacts on air quality

The agenda is available: Agenda (PDF)

The 2023 symposium theme brings climate change front and center as we advance our understanding of the interactions between changing temperatures and precipitation, and current and future environmental quality. We hope you join us in Madison and share your climate story.

While these will be the foci of the symposium, abstracts and presentations on all aspects of air quality and deposition monitoring, networks, novel measurement equipment, sampling and analytical methods, modeling, research linking data to ecological responses, and the application and use of data for education, land management, and policy are welcomed. We have identified the following session topics:

October 25, 2023: Scientific Symposium

  • Session 1: Ecological effects of deposition and climate change (Recording)
  • Session 2: Emerging measurements and effects of aeroallergens and wildfire smoke (Recording)
  • Session 3: Deposition and effects of mercury, toxics, and hazardous air pollutants – Part 1 (Recording)
  • Poster Session

October 26, 2023: Scientific Symposium

  • Session 4: Advances in measurements of atmospheric pollution – Part 1 (Recording)
  • Session 5: Modeling atmospheric concentrations and deposition (Recording)
  • Session 6: Deposition and effects of mercury, toxics, and hazardous air pollutants – Part 2 (Recording)
  • Session 7: Advances in measurements of atmospheric pollution – Part 2 (Recording)
  • Closing Remarks (Recording)

October 27, 2023: Optional Field Trip: EPIC Systems Renewable energy tour/Devil’s Lake State Park

  • Learn about EPIC Systems renewable energy,
  • Visit WI31 – Devil’s Lake and talk with local researchers on how climate and air pollution is impacting the area,
  • Hike through the remaining fall colors to quartzite bluffs that overlook the lake.

Student engagement

We encourage students from all air quality related disciplines to submit abstracts and attend the meeting. We will have multiple opportunities for students and other new attendees to network and interact with other NADP members during a welcome orientation on Monday morning and a student lunch on Wednesday. Current undergraduate and graduate students presenting posters or talks will be offered a discounted registration fee and will be eligible for an award for best student presentation.

Virtual Participation

There will be a virtual option for the Fall Meeting and Scientific Symposium. The Technical and Science committee meetings on Monday and Tuesday will be made available at no charge. Zoom registration links are posted above. 

There will be a registration charge for the virtual Scientific Symposium, Zoom links for the Wednesday and Thursday will be provided once the conference registration is processed.
