MACDONALD, Glen – Department of Geography, University of California, Los Angeles Glen Sproul dit MacDonald is an international leader in developing long records of climatic change to address questions of forcing factors, teleconnections, and the impacts of climate change on ecosystems, evolutionary and extinction dynamics, and societal vulnerability. His studies, ranging from Arctic warming, the hydroclimatology of western North America, and sea level rise and the fate of coastal marshes, have included work in North America, Europe, Asia and Africa.

Glen Sproul, dit MacDonald, est un chef de file international reconnu pour avoir produit des registres exhaustifs sur le changement climatique permettant d’analyser des facteurs de forçage, des téléconnexions, et les effets du changement climatique sur les écosystèmes, les dynamiques d’évolution et d’extinction des espèces et sur la vulnérabilité sociétale. Ses recherches, s’étendant de l’étude du réchauffement de l’Arctique, à l’hydroclimatologie de l’Amérique du Nord, à la hausse du niveau des mers et à l’avenir des marais côtiers, ont impliqué des déplacements en Amérique du Nord, en Europe, en Asie et en Afrique.

Stuart MacDonald has shaped the field of cognitive aging, employing advanced measures and methods to characterize patterns and predictors of age-related cognitive decline. Combining expertise in gerontology, cognition, longitudinal methodology, and neuroscience has facilitated the identification of risk factors (genetic, biological, psychological) that foreshadow cognitive impairment associated with age, dementia, and mortality risk. His research has influenced cognitive aging theory and methods, public policy and personal convictions to age successfully.

Stuart MacDonald a façonné le domaine du vieillissement cognitif, en utilisant des mesures et méthodes avancées visant à déterminer les caractéristiques et prédicteurs du déclin cognitif lié à l’âge. Son expertise variée en gérontologie, en cognition, en méthodologie longitudinale et en neuroscience a facilité l’identification de facteurs de risque (génétiques, biologiques, psychologiques) qui présagent la déficience cognitive liée à l’âge, la démence et le risque de mortalité. Ses recherches ont influencé les théories du vieillissement cognitif, ainsi que les méthodes, politiques publiques et convictions personnelles en matière de « bien vieillir ».

Andrew MacDougall is a globally recognized researcher who examines how humans affect the diversity and functioning of environmental systems across the planet. His work, published numerous times in Nature and Science, occurs at several trophic levels (plant, insect, vertebrate) and spatial resolutions (local to global), testing fundamental ecological theory and its application to management. He is in the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of Guelph.

Long Citation (for publication and press release) John MacGregor's contributions span the areas of data analytic methods, advanced process control and polymer reaction engineering. His pioneering research on latent variable modeling approaches to interrogate large industrial databases led to an explosion in the use of these methods for the analysis, monitoring and control of industrial processes. His research on batch processes has been particularly influential. Recent research on digital imaging for process control and on the rapid development of new products is also noteworthy. His earlier research on polymer reaction engineering, involving fundamental modeling and advanced polymer property control, was instrumental in helping to define that field.

In 20 Years Dr. George Mackie has become recognized internationally as an exceptionally gifted and versatile zoologist. He established his reputation early as a coelenterate biologist by his studies on siphonophores. His demonstration of non-nervous conduction of impulses in the epithelia of these animals in 1965 was a discovery of great significance in comparative neurobiology. It was made possible by Mackie's awareness that structure and function had to be linked in studying the behavioural biology of an animal. In later work, he applied his skills as an observer and as an experimenter, combining histological, ultrastructural and electrophysiological techniques, to hydromedusae, ctenophores, sponges and tunicates. He now stands in the forefront of comparative neurobiologists. Election to a Fellowship of the Royal Society of Canada would be a fitting way to recognize George Mackie's contribution to Canadian zoology.

James Gordon MacKinnon is certainly one of Canada's leading econometricians and one of the most distinguished econometricians in the world. His two principal contributions are in the development of non-nested hypothesis testing and in the design of specification tests. Both of these are major theoretical and practical advances in the field. They greatly facilitate the acquisition and validation of quantitative knowledge about the economy. He had published many articles on a wide variety of topics in leading international journals, and his recent book "Estimation and Inference in Econometrics" (co-authored with Russell Davidson) is widely recognized as the definitive treatment of the subject.

LONG Patrick Macklem has made exceptional contributions to Canadian constitutional law as it relates to Aboriginal peoples. Internationally recognized as foundational within and beyond his discipline, his constitutional publications - as well as his work on labour law and international human rights - manifest a deep commitment to interdisciplinarity and theoretical rigour. Awarded the Don Smiley Award and the Harold Innis Award in 2002, his recent book, Indigenous difference and the Constitution of Canada has effectively changed the terms of debate concerning the constitutional relationship between Aboriginal peoples and Canada. His contributions on international human rights and international criminal law are widely acclaimed for their theoretical reach and public significance.
