Dr. David R. Tyner is a Senior Research Associate in the Energy and Emissions Research Laboratory (EERL) at 杏吧原创 University with over a decade of experience working to quantify and provide insight into methane emissions from upstream oil and gas production in Western Canada. Before joining EERL, Dr. Tyner completed a Ph.D. in Mathematics and Engineering at Queen鈥檚 University in Kingston Ontario in 2007. As part of EERL, Dr. Tyner鈥檚 research, in collaboration with governmental and industry partners, has been focused on understanding methane emissions at the source-level. This research has contributed to numerous peer-reviewed journal articles on economic methane mitigation, methane regulatory equivalency, development of laser-based measurement tools for liquid storage tanks and venting sources, and more recently measurement-based provincial methane inventories using large scale aerial surveys.
