The keynote information for the 3rd International Conference on Environmental Pollution and Remediation (ICEPR'13) is as follows:
Dr. James Li
Dr. Li graduated with a BASc in Civil Engineering and a MASc in Hydraulic Engineering at the University of Windsor, and a PhD in Environmental Engineering at the University of Toronto in Canada. Dr. Li is an environmental engineering professor at Ryerson University, a licensed professional engineer, and the Diplomat of American Water Resource Engineers Academy. His current research focuses on eco-hydrology and hydraulics, water pollution control planning, environmental benefits of greenroofs, industrial spill management, urban stormwater management, and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay technique for dioxin in environmental matrices. For the past 20 years, Dr. Li has provided technical services and advices to federal, provincial, and municipal governments.

Dr. Jason Gerhard
Dr. Jason Gerhard (P.Eng) is the Canada Research Chair in Geoenvironmental Remediation and an Associate Professor at Western University. He has over 15 years of experience leading research into soil and groundwater contamination by hazardous industrial pollutants. Dr. Gerhard completed his PhD in 2002 at Queen's University and was an Assistant Professor at University of Edinburgh until 2007. At Western he co-leads the RESTORE (Research for Subsurface Transport and Remediation; www.eng.uwo.ca/research/restore/index.htm) group. His research program has generated breakthroughs in understanding the behaviour of organic contaminants in soils and fractured rock. In addition, he is co-inventor and research leader for a new technology for the remediation of highly contaminated soils (www.siremlab.com/star). He leads experimental research from the pore to the field scale, and the development and application of computer models to assist researchers and practitioners restore polluted environments. Expert consulting has involved the design and optimization of remediation systems at field sites. Dr. Gerhard has acted as an Associate Editor for Water Resources Research and has delivered invited platform presentations at both international universities and leading conferences in UK, EU, Australia, and North America.
Topic of Keynote: Self-sustaining Smouldering Destruction: A Novel Method for Remediating Soil Contaminated with Hazardous Industrial Liquids
