Jonathan Abbatt, MCIC
University of Toronto
Jon Abbatt is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Toronto. He is an atmospheric chemist, working at the interface of chemistry and atmospheric science in both the laboratory and the field. His focus is on studies of the fundamental chemistry underlying environmental phenomena, including atmospheric ozone, urban haze, and the roles of aerosol particles in cloud formation and climate. In the past few years, his attention has been largely on the chemistry of Arctic aerosol, wildfire emissions, and the indoor environment. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and the American Geophysical Union.
