Yuri Leonenko studies how to capture and store carbon dioxide underground to limit the increasing impacts of global warming. His research involves understanding complex multi-phase flows and transport phenomena that regulate how CO2 behaves in porous subsurface environments. He holds a joint appointment in the Department of Geography and Environmental Management. His work is pivotal in the fields of geological storage of CO2, climate control, emerging technologies in petroleum energy production, and the broader implications of carbon dioxide capture and storage in addressing climate change. Leonenko has published widely in top-tier journals, contributing to the scientific understanding of these critical areas. Through his research and service, he plays an important role in initiatives related to greenhouse gas management and is affiliated with entities such as Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA). His extensive educational background includes a PhD in Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics from the Institute of Thermophysics, Russian Academy of Science, and an MSc in Physics from Novosibirsk State University in Russia.
