Biography

Dr. McNaughton holds a BASc in Environmental Engineering from the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada and an MS and PhD in Oceanography from the University of Hawai`i at Mānoa in Honolulu, Hawai`i. He is a registered Professional Environmental Engineer in Australia and Canada, a Certified Air Quality Professional and employed as a Technical Director for Air Quality with RWDI Australia. Cameron's experience includes baseline environmental studies for CCUS projects (Rock et al., 2017), geochemical forensics (McNaughton et al., 2019), greenhouse gas and air emissions inventories (Parker et al., 2016; McNaughton et al., 2024), air dispersion modelling, regulatory permitting, and climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. He has authored six articles in peer reviewed journals; served as co-author on more than forty other publications; has conducted peer review of scientific articles, and science proposals submitted to the NSF (USA), NERC (UK) and NASA; and, served as a Science Definition Team member for NASA’s PACE satellite.
