Renseignements sur le Colloque
Le 38 Colloque technique de l’AMOP – Contamination de l’environnement et intervention
aura lieu du 2 au 4 juin 2015. Il offre une tribune pour tous ceux qui travaillent dans le domaine des
déversements d’hydrocarbres et de produits dangereux. Il permet l’échange de résultats scientifiques
et la rencontre entre les professionnels de la recherche et de l’intervention. Toutes les
communications présentées font l’objet d’une révision scientifique et technique.
Le colloque comprend des sessions plénières regroupant des présentations de 10 ou 20 minutes sur
des sujets en lien avec les déversements dont ceux de produits chimiques, biologiques, radiologiques,
nucléaires et explosifs (CBRNE). Les sessions débutent tous les matins à 8h30. Les
présentations sont suivies de périodes de questions. Les sessions se terminent par une tribune libre
où des conférenciers peuvent présenter les tout derniers résultats de leurs recherches sans que ceuxci fassent l’objet d’un article.
Lieu à venir.

Seminar Information
The 38 AMOP Technical Seminar on Environmental Contamination and Response will take
place from June 2 to 4, 2015. The Seminar provides a forum for professionals working in the field of
oil and hazardous materials spills. The forum facilitates the transfer of scientific results and is
intended to link research and the operational community. All submitted papers are peer-reviewed by
scientific and technical experts.
The Technical Seminar features plenary sessions of 10- or 20-minute presentations on spill-related
topics including Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives (CBRNE). Sessions
will begin at 8.30 a.m. each day. Presentations will be followed by a question-and-answer period.
Sessions may conclude with one or more Speaker’s Corner presentations at which participants
without a paper can formally present the most recent results of their research.
Venue is pending.

vouloir être présents lors des pauses et après le repas du midi afin de rencontrer les autres
participants, de présenter leur travail et de répondre aux questions. Les résumés pour les affiches
sans articles seront acceptés jusqu’à la mi-avril.
Un nombre limité de kiosques d’exposition de 2,4 x 3 m (8’x 10’) sera installé pour permettre la
présentation de services et d’équipement utilisés lors de déversements chimiques et d’hydrocarbure.
Ces kiosques peuvent être loués pour la somme de 600 $, ce qui comprend un forfait « tout
