AI and the Future of Environmental Consulting: Impacts on Business Models, Work, and the Workforce
2026-07-16 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Edmonton) | Online
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping environmental consulting, but not in the ways many expect.
Drawing on new research based on labour market modelling, employer interviews, and an industry workshop, this webinar explores how AI is transforming consulting workflows, business models, and workforce dynamics. Participants will gain practical insight into where AI is already being used, why traditional time-and-materials billing models are under pressure, how roles are
changing, and why talent pipeline compression poses the greatest long-term risk.
The session will also address governance, risk, and what firms can do now to turn AI into a strategic advantage rather than a source of disruption.

L’intelligence artificielle est en train de transformer rapidement le secteur du conseil en environnement, mais pas de la manière dont beaucoup s’y attendent.
S’appuyant sur de nouvelles recherches fondées sur la modélisation du marché du travail, des entrevues avec des employeurs et un atelier sectoriel, ce webinaire explore la manière dont l’IA transforme les processus de travail, les modèles d’affaires et la dynamique de l’effectif dans le secteur du conseil. Les participants découvriront concrètement dans quels domaines l’IA est déjà utilisée, pourquoi les modèles traditionnels de facturation « temps et matériaux » sont remis en question, comment les rôles évoluent et pourquoi la réduction du bassin de talents représente le plus grand risque à long terme.
La séance abordera également les questions de gouvernance et de risques, ainsi que les mesures que les entreprises peuvent prendre dès maintenant pour faire de l’IA un avantage stratégique plutôt qu’une source de perturbations.

Geological CO2 Storage and Monitoring
2026-07-29 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Edmonton)
This webinar addresses the fundamentals of Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS), with particular emphasis on dedicated geological CO2 storage (GCS) and the role that geophysical and geochemical monitoring plays in the verification of secure, long-term storage of CO2 in the subsurface. In this process, CO2 is injected into deep saline formations, or depleted oil and gas reservoirs that can securely store the CO2 permanently. Canada is very well positioned for CO2 storage at a large scale due to its geology and technical expertise.
This informative session will be illustrated with examples from the Carbon Management Canada (CMC) Newell County Field Research Station (FRS) and other pilot and commercial projects. The FRS was developed in the South-East of Alberta by CMC and the University of Calgary to develop and assess monitoring technologies for CO2 leakage detection.

Speaker:
