DAVE DUBOIS Assistant Research Air Quality Scientist Division of Atmospheric Sciences
EDUCATION: Ph.D., Atmospheric Science, University of Nevada, Reno M.S., Physics, New Mexico State University B.A., Physics, Rutgers University

PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS: Dr. DuBois currently holds the position of Assistant Research Air Quality Scientist in the Division of Atmospheric Sciences, where he conducts research in the field or air quality. In his present position, Dr. DuBois is actively working on a Western Regional Air Partnership funded study to understand the causes of haze in Class I areas in the west. Dr. DuBois' research interests and specialties include the design and evaluation of air quality networks, applications of GIS to air quality problems, atmospheric dispersion modeling, remote sensing of trace gases and aerosols and satellite remote sensing. As part of his doctoral research, Dr. DuBois investigated methods to systematize the process of air quality network design and evaluation. This work focused on the use of GIS and applications of exploratory spatial data analysis to extract patterns and mine information from various data sets. He was also involved in the field program planning for the California Regional PM10/PM2.5 Air Quality Study (CRPAQS), the Northern Front Range Air Quality Study (NFRAQS) and the Las Vegas Valley PM10 Study. RESEARCH AREAS: Regional haze, GIS, dispersion modeling, fugitive dust emissions, remote sensing SELECTED PUBLICATIONS: Husar, R.B., D. Tratt, B.A. Schichtel, S.R. Falke, F. Li, D. Jaffe, S.
