Overview

David Stevenson is affiliated with the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom and has an extensive research profile primarily in the fields of Environmental Science and Earth and Planetary Sciences. Their work focuses on areas such as atmospheric chemistry, global and planetary change, and various aspects of air quality and health impacts.

The scientist has contributed significantly to topics related to atmospheric chemistry and aerosols, atmospheric and environmental gas dynamics, and atmospheric ozone and climate. Other research interests include odor and emission control technologies, climate change and health impacts, and the impact of COVID-19 on air quality.

Stevenson has published in several prominent scientific venues. Frequent publication outlets include:

  • Atmospheric chemistry and physics
  • Geoscientific model development
  • UNC Libraries
  • Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A Mathematical Physical and Engineering Sciences
  • Atmospheric Environment

Collaboration is a notable aspect of Stevenson's work, with frequent coauthors including Mathew R. Heal, Massimo Vieno, Mark A. Sutton, Guang Zeng, and Jize Jiang.

Selected recent publications include:

  • "A chronology of global air quality" (2020), published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A Mathematical Physical and Engineering Sciences
  • "A multi-model assessment of the Global Warming Potential of hydrogen" (2023), published in Communications Earth & Environment
  • "Trends in global tropospheric hydroxyl radical and methane lifetime since 1850 from AerChemMIP" (2020), published in Atmospheric chemistry and physics
  • "Global modelling studies of hydrogen and its isotopomers using STOCHEM-CRI: Likely radiative forcing consequences of a future hydrogen economy" (2020), published in International Journal of Hydrogen Energy
  • "COVID-19 lockdown emission reductions have the potential to explain over half of the coincident increase in global atmospheric methane" (2022), published in Atmospheric chemistry and physics

These publications address a range of environmental topics from air quality and atmospheric chemistry to climate change and the implications of emerging energy technologies, such as hydrogen, on global warming potential. Recent work also includes research on the effects of COVID-19 lockdowns on atmospheric methane levels.
