- The National Environmental Policy Act process and implementation issues;
- The latest technologies and regulatory strategies;
- Oil and gas emission, pollutant formation, and impact modeling research;
- Air quality developments in major basins in the West;
- Federal, regional, and state climate policies and their impact on the critical energy sector;
- Balancing the development and protection of key areas for energy production; and
