Dr. King's career has followed a pathway of increasing technical specialization. In early work as a Project Manager on large industrial sites, Mark supervised all phases of site decommissioning. He has managed projects involving innovative remedial technologies for:
|
|
in situ bioremediation of contaminated soil and groundwater
|
|
|
removal of LNAPL and DNAPL
|
|
|
ex situ treatment of contaminated soils and
|
|
|
passive interception of contaminants in groundwater.
|
|
This background in managing large environmental projects has given Mark an appreciation of project quality control.
|
In more recent years, Mark has specialized in Technical Direction and Advisory services. A current example of this role is his position as Technical Advisor to a large US company with nationwide interests in coke oven sites, tar refining plants, wood treatment facilities and chemical plants. In a similar role he is Scientific Advisor to the Steering committee for the Technology Demonstration Program at the Sydney Tar Ponds, known as one of the most contaminated sites in Canada. Recent projects have also partnered him with large consulting firms involved in the clean up of large contaminated sites.
|
Mark has provided considerable training services over the last several years, including university courses, in-house training for regulatory agencies and involvement in Short Courses offered by the University of Waterloo.
|
Mark’s education has been in both the Earth Sciences and Engineering. His doctorate is from the University of Waterloo, where his research involved a large-scale field study of a dissolved phase PAH plume. His Master’s level research comprised a field investigation of factors affecting acid generation and acid mine drainage to groundwater and surface water from sulphide minerals.
