Dr. Mark Gordon

Biography

Mark Gordon is an academic specializing in atmospheric emissions, air quality, and turbulent processes. His research focuses on the emission, deposition, and transport of chemicals and pollutants, along with aerosols and particles from sources such as petroleum production facilities, road traffic, and forest environments. Prior to joining York University, he worked for five years as a physical scientist and post-doctoral researcher with the Air Quality department at Environment Canada. His recent studies include the investigation of emissions and mixing of pollutants related to highway traffic and oil sands production facilities, as well as the interaction of pollutants with forest environments and forest canopy mixing. Gordon's earlier work examined wind-induced transport of sand particles and blowing snow in Arctic regions, contributing to a greater understanding of atmospheric processes in diverse and challenging environments. He is actively engaged in experimental research within the field of planetary physics.
