Biography
Gordon Osinski, Associate Professor & NSERC/MDA/CSA/CEMI Industrial Research Chair in Earth and Space Exploration of the department of Earth Sciences at the University of Western Ontario, Canada. Ph.D. University of New Brunswick, 2004.
Research Interest
Dr. Osinski's research interests are diverse and interdisciplinary in nature. His work synthesizes field, remote sensing, and laboratory observations with a range of geochemical data. His current research falls into three main areas: planetary geology, astrobiology, and economic geology. Meteorite impact craters provide a common cross-cutting theme. He approaches planetary geology with the fundamental view that interpretations of other planetary bodies must begin by using the Earth as a reference and fieldwork forms the basis for much of his research. In addition, he is also interested in developing technologies and techniques for human and robotic surface operations on the Moon and Mars
