Marleiah O’Neill, PG, and Eric Lovenduski will speak at the Joint Technical Conference of the Central New York (CNY) Chapter of the Air & Water Management Association (A&WMA) and the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA).

They will speak on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, in Skaneateles, New York.

Marleiah will address water sampling for cap monitoring Lake Onandaga, and Eric will address protection considerations when installing vapor barrier membranes in new construction. In addition, Marleigh serves on the board of directors for the CNY A&WMA and, in that capacity, helped plan the conference.

Geosyntec will sponsor the afternoon break, sundae bar, and exhibit and poster viewing at 2:40 p.m. ET.

Marleiah is a Senior Geologist based in New York with more than 15 years of experience focusing on geoscience and environmental applications, often to support habitat and wetland restoration. She often performs soil sampling and data analysis for projects involving field investigations, construction oversight, and groundwater monitoring.

Eric is a Principal Scientist based in New York with more than 25 years of experience focused on soil and groundwater contamination and specializing in evaluating and mitigating vapor intrusion and supporting carbon capture, utilization, and storage projects. Eric is known for his innovative, yet simple, vapor intrusion solutions and for helping develop industry standards and guidance documents on the subject.

The conference connects scientists, engineers, health and safety professionals, and changemakers to share solutions that build resilience, jumpstart economic prosperity, and inspire a sustainable vision across the region and beyond.
