I am a specialist in gas emissions measurement and data processing techniques, to quantify emissions in natural and industrial settings. My ‘FluxLab’ team at St. Francis Xavier University consists of almost 30 students and professional researchers. We been involved in ecological gas measurement projects from pole to pole, monitoring design for CO2 deep injection sites, but most of our work has focused on quantifying methane emissions from Canadian industry. In recent years we have made gas emission measurements at over 15,000 oil and gas facilities across North America, both onshore and offshore, and over 120 landfills from coast to coast. Our work helps policymakers, regulators, and industry better understand and manage greenhouse gas emissions.
