Following the successful Air Quality and Health CPD course which ran in June 2011, Prof Margaret Bell and Dr Anil Namdeo are running two new one day courses in March 2012 which may be of interest to you or colleagues:
Delivering Policy with Traffic and Environmental Management<http://www.ncl.ac.uk/cegs.cpd/cpd/ptem.php> (Book two places, second half price)
Transport & Environmental Appraisal: Tools & Techniques<http://www.ncl.ac.uk/cegs.cpd/cpd/teatt.php> (Book two places, second half price)
The School of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, Newcastle University is also running a new two day course, Network Analysis for GIS<http://www.ncl.ac.uk/cegs.cpd/cpd/netanalysis.php>, which would be ideal for those who create or analyse networks.
Details of courses are below or via the links.

Delivering Policy with Traffic and Environmental Management (March 13th)
This short course provides an insight into how an integrated traffic and inexpensive pervasive environmental monitoring system can help to deliver national and local policy objectives.
Participants will learn about:
· The range of precision monitoring systems available on the market and their role in monitoring hotspots
· The health of the city and how inexpensive but less accurate pervasive monitoring can be used to better understand the causes and assess the effects of air quality management measures
· The importance of an integrated database platform and the role of historic data for delivering policy objectives
This course is aimed at Local Authorities and Consultant engineers and managers.
Fee £185 (Book two places, second half price)

Transport & Environmental Appraisal: Tools & Techniques (March 14th)
This short course provides an understanding of the tools and techniques required for environmental appraisal of transport activities. It starts with an overview of the NATA (New Approach to Appraisal) and focuses on the tools for environmental assessment which range from simple screening models to advanced models and techniques. The main focus is on tools for noise, emission and air quality assessment. The course also covers methodology for assessing landscape, townscape and biodiversity impacts of transport projects. Workshop sessions will give the participants an opportunity to use some of the tools and techniques outlined in WebTAG (Transport Analysis Guidance recommended by the Department for Transport).
Fee: £185 (Book two places, second half price)

Network Analysis using GIS: 2 day course (March 21st - 22nd)
As part of several UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council projects the Geospatial Engineering group at Newcastle University have been developing an improved understanding of the spatial vulnerability and risk of network infrastructure systems. This work has extensively utilised network modelling and analysis within a GIS framework and the Geospatial Engineering team have become leaders in analysis of networks using GIS. Using our research as a basis, we are pleased to introduce a 2-day course in Network Analysis using GIS. The course will explore the many uses of GIS data in sectors such as transport to provide a more efficient representation and analysis of networks within the strategic decision making process. The two day course will be ideal for those involved in creating and analysing networks of any kind, an intermediate level of GIS experience is recommended.
Fee £535 (group discounts available)
