David’s main research interests have included the long-range dispersion of air pollution using air-borne techniques, characterisation of particle emissions from in-use motor vehicles and greenhouse gas (fugitive) emissions from black coal mining. He was responsible for the setting out the methodology for fugitive emissions from coal mining as a component in the Australian inventory and took part in an IPCC workshop on coal-related fugitive emissions in Prague in 1997.
