معرفی
Dr. Richard Amos is an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at Carleton University, affiliated with the Institute of Environmental and Interdisciplinary Science. His research focuses on reactive transport modeling of geochemical processes in mining and environmental systems, including waste rock geochemistry and contaminant transport. He leads the development of the MIN3Pro software for reactive transport modeling and has conducted extensive field studies at the Diavik Diamond Mine in the Canadian Arctic. He received the 2014 NSERC Synergy Award for innovative collaboration with industry on waste rock management. His work integrates numerical modeling, field experiments, and laboratory analyses to address environmental challenges in resource extraction and groundwater protection.
Key research areas include acid mine drainage prediction, permafrost geochemistry, and the application of isotopic techniques (e.g., chromium, sulfur) to track contaminant behavior. Dr. Amos teaches graduate courses on reactive transport modeling and offers professional short courses through Carleton University. He collaborates with academic, industrial, and government partners to advance sustainable mining practices and environmental remediation strategies.
