Gordon Wilson is a Professor in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Alberta, specializing in Civil and Environmental Engineering. With 25 years of industrial experience, he practices advanced waste management and unsaturated soil mechanics. Dr. Wilson is the Principal Investigator at the Oil Sands Tailings Research Facility (OSTRF) located in Devon, Alberta. His extensive consulting experience includes working with prominent international mining companies, particularly in areas related to Acid Rock Drainage (ARD). He served as the lead author for a chapter in the Global Acid Rock Drainage Guide prepared by the International Network for Acid Prevention. Dr. Wilson has developed significant waste management programs focusing on soil cover systems for long-term closure of tailings and waste rock, and led the development of a numerical model named ‘SoilCover’ under the Canadian MEND program for predicting soil cover performance. His current research involves large-scale experiments at the Grasberg and Antamina mines to investigate innovative mitigation techniques that blend tailings with waste rock to create high-strength sealing materials.
