Marshall's research is at the intersection of air pollution and public health, in exposure assessment: understanding how much pollution people breathe, and how to reduce those exposures. His specific areas of focus are
(1) Air pollution impacts of urban form;
(2) Air pollution and health impacts of transportation energy consumption;
(3) In situ measurement of fine particles in developing countries.
