Professor T. C. Young, Jr.'s field-work and subsequent publications raised archaeological research in Western Iran (Iron Age) to a new plateau and was directly responsible for an explosion of field-work on the part of various foreign archaeological expeditions during the 1960's and 1970's. Young then (1970's & 1980's) went beyond this to define the longest and most detailed archaeological sequence in all of Western Iran covering a time span of 6,000 years from the Neolithic through to the Late Iron Age. No other individual scholar has made such a profound, sustained, and seminal contribution to the Archaeology of Western Iran.

Morris Zaslow, more than any other historian, has reminded Canadians that they are a Northern people, inhabitants of a country with special problems but a unique history. The first volume of "The Opening of the North" (1971) and the second volume "The Northward Expansion of Canada 1914-1967" (1988), demonstrated the dynamism of the concept of the North between 1870 and 1967. His history of the Geological Survey ("Reading the Rocks", 1975), his many articles and editions of original sources have illustrated the process of exploration and development. He is vice-president of the Champlain Society, former president of the Ontario Historical Society and has been editor for both organizations.

Long Citation Isztar Zawadzki has made exceptional and long-lasting contributions to our understanding of precipitation processes using radar measurements. He has related the statistical properties of raindrops to their physical origin and has parameterized their attributes. He then directed the incorporation of his raindrop parameterization scheme into an advanced mesoscale numerical weather prediction model for the benefit of the meteorological community. He has designed novel experiments, and followed them through with superb quantitative interpretations. For his many contributions to radar meteorology, Prof. Zawadzki was awarded in 2006 the first-ever Remote Sensing Prize of the American Meteorology Society.

Tom Ziegler is a Theoretical Inorganic chemist. He is a world authority on the application of Density Functional Theory to the determination of the bonding structures and reaction profiles of inorganic and organometallic compounds. He is a pioneer in applying these methods to catalytic cycles of industrial importance. He has also used them to calculate vibrational frequencies and NMR chemical shifts of inorganic compounds. Tom Ziegler is acknowledged by experimentalists as a theoretician with outstanding chemical intuition. He is widely sought after as a collaborator. The numerous invited lectures and constant stream of visitors to his research group are a clear indication of the high standing of his work in the international community of chemists.
