Keynote Speakers:
Michael Ogletree, Director, Air Pollution Control Division, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
Michael Ogletree has led the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s Air Pollution Control Division since November 2021. Ogletree oversees and contributes to programs that protect Colorado’s air quality with science-informed policies and programs that are responsive to community feedback. He has led the division through multiple major achievements, including enhancing the state’s air monitoring program with more permanent stations and mobile equipment, developing nation-leading standards to control air pollution emissions from key sectors such as manufacturing and oil and gas operations, and modernizing the division’s processes while making public information more easily accessible. Ogletree’s accomplishments led to him being named a national leader in climate policy in April 2024. Before he came to CDPHE, Ogletree previously served as air quality program manager for the City and County of Denver where he developed and implemented the city’s Love My Air program, was appointed by Governor Polis to serve as secretary of the Air Quality Control Commission for several years, served on the state’s Air Quality Enterprise Board, and worked in the private sector as a chemist and laboratory manager.
Joost de Gouw, Professor of Chemistry and Fellow of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, University of Colorado Boulder
Dr. Joost de Gouw is a Professor in the Chemistry Department and a Fellow of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES). His research is focused on air quality. His group specializes in measurements of organic trace gases in air using mass spectrometry. Also, they use data from satellite remote sensing instruments to study the distribution and trends in air pollutants and greenhouse gases. Current projects include urban air quality in Los Angeles and Denver, environmental justice, wildfire emissions including those from the Marshall Fire, emissions from oil and gas production in the U.S., emissions from landfills, and indoor air quality effects of germicidal UV lamps. Dr. de Gouw received his PhD in Physics from the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands and joined the University of Colorado Boulder as a faculty member in 2018, following a career in research with CIRES and NOAA. Dr. de Gouw is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and was a Highly Cited author in 2017 and 2018. His work has been recognized with an Excellence in Research Award from the CU Boulder Faculty Assembly (2024), the Colorado Governor’s Award for High-impact Research (2012, 2014 and 2022), and with a Healthy Community Award from Boulder County Public Health (2022).

Mobile Air Quality Monitoring Laboratory Showcase Tour
Cost: $45 (includes transportation)
This tour is sold out. Pre-registered attendees should meet in the hotel lobby by 1:15 pm.
There is a growing number of air quality agencies, academic researchers, consultants, and manufacturers/refineries utilizing mobile air quality monitoring. Mobile monitoring enhances our spatial understanding of air quality and can be used in communities, along fencelines, and for leak detection. To keep up with the changing air quality measurement methods and technology landscape, the conference organizers are pleased to announce the first Mobile Monitoring Laboratory Showcase.
If you are interested in learning about Mobile Air Quality Monitoring from some of the experts in the field, please join us for an afternoon of mobile laboratory tours at the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment’s (CDPHE) Air Toxics and Ozone Precursors Program’s Facility in Wheat Ridge, CO. Over 10 mobile labs from CDPHE, US Environmental Protection Agency, environmental consultants, and real-time mass spectrometry manufacturers will be available for attendees to view, discuss, and ask questions about applications and best practices.Dress Code: Closed toe shoes are required.
