Gary Klaassen joined York University in 1986 after completing a Postdoctoral fellowship at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado. He holds a Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Atmospheric Physics from the University of Toronto, and a B.Sc. in Physics from the University of Waterloo. His major research interests include wave dynamics, stratified shear flows, transition turbulence, cloud dynamics, and mesoscale meteorology.
