Richman

Wilton

Environmental Science Associates has added two new air quality and noise analysts to the companies Northwest team: Darren Wilton and Kurt Richman. Both come to ESA from working together at Ramboll, where they spent the past decade developing solutions for modeling challenges throughout the United States and internationally. Wilton, PhD, brings nearly 20 years of research and data analysis experience in atmospheric sciences, meteorology, climate change, and air quality modeling. He is well versed in preparing air quality impact assessments, facility air quality permits, health risk assessments, and geospatial analyses. His expertise focuses on dispersion modeling for data centers and large, complex projects requiring innovative technical solutions.

Richman has performed air quality and environmental noise impact modeling to assess compliance and evaluate potential impacts related to residential and commercial developments, mining, and transportation projects throughout his 15-year career. He leverages computer programming and scripting to automate modeling, calculations, and visualizations in support of air and noise discipline reports, environmental studies, health risk assessments, and permits.

Wilton and Richman created a software suite that streamlines the creation of inputs and postprocessing for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's AERMOD modeling system. The model platform includes additional tools that allow for meteorological analyses and big-data geospatial processing, and it can immediately respond to publication of regulatory model updates. Portable and scalable, the suite can be deployed on cloud-based high-performance computing clusters, enabling massive speed improvements in model runtime.
