Policy Relevant Syntheses of Findings from Field Studies:

The scientific results of atmospheric chemistry field studies are generally reported in a multitude of journals in papers written by the individual participating scientists. While effective for advancing science, this situation makes it difficult for policy makers to be fully informed and to bring the latest scientific results into the design of air quality and climate change policies. Policy relevant syntheses of the field study results serve to overcome this difficulty. David Parrish has considerable experience synthesizing the policy relevant findings from several field studies, including:

Integration of Atmospheric Chemistry Issues:

Progress in atmospheric chemistry issues is made by many scientists, publishing their results in a wide range of journals. David Parrish has a demonstrated capability of publishing papers that integrate past, sometimes divergent results, with important advances. The result is a wide spectrum of landmark papers that coordinate our advancing knowledge of important issues in atmospheric chemistry. Examples include studies that span all areas of atmospheric chemistry, including emissions (Parrish, 2006; Parrish et al., 2009), air pollution in mega-cities (Parrish and Zhu, 2009; Parrish et al., 2011; Parrish and Stockwell, 2015; Parrish et al., 2016), urban photochemistry (Parrish et al., 2012), impact of intercontinental transport of pollutants (Parrish et al., 2010; Law and Parrish, 2011; Parrish et al., 2017) and character of the remote troposphere (Parrish et al., 2013; 2014).
