Is air dispersion modelling ready for the next 10 years? Air dispersion modelling has changed significantly over the past decade, but the next decade may bring even greater pressure on modelling practice. Regulatory expectations are evolving, meteorological inputs are becoming more complex, machine learning and artificial intelligence are entering technical conversations, and climate change is raising new questions about whether past meteorology remains fit for future assessments. This forum brings together modelling, regulatory and industry perspectives to examine where air dispersion modelling has come from, where it may be heading, and what capability the profession will need by 2036.
