LONG CITATION
Bruce Mitchell is a distinguished scholar, teacher, mentor, and leader. His groundbreaking and innovative research in the areas of water and environmental management has been widely recognized, as is reflected in the numerous national and international awards and distinctions he has received, the editorships he has held, and the extent to which his advice is sought by governments and international organizations. His remarkable record of publication includes 31 authored and edited books and monographs and over 128 articles and chapters. His textbooks have been standards in the field for 25 years, with one translated into three languages. The excellence of Bruce Mitchell's teaching has been formally acknowledged through an award from the University of Waterloo. However, it is perhaps most powerfully demonstrated by the inspiration and guidance that he has provided to subsequent generations, who are carrying on the tradition of practical geographical scholarship in the resource and environmental management field that he has defined during his career.

Keywords: Histoire du Canada, histoire constitutionnelle du Canada, histoire de l'église, théologie
Le professeur Jacques Monet est le spécialiste reconnu de l'importante transition qui va des insurrections canadiennes de 1837-38 à l'établissement du gouvernement responsable. Son livre principal, « The Last Cannon Shot », traduit chez Fides en 1981 par « La première révolution tranquille », est à la fois une étude d'histoire politique, constitutionnelle et une contribution majeure à l'histoire de l'idéologie nationaliste. Ses nombreuses publications, dans les deux langues, portent sur les symboles et les significations des institutions politiques canadiennes.
Son analyse des rapports entre la théorie de la responsabilité ministérielle et le nationalisme se situait déjà dans cette perspective qui l'incite maintenant à scruter avec soin le rôle des institutions monarchiques dans le milieu canadien.
En 1979, il a publié « La monarchie au Canada » (Cercle du livre de France), et en 1985 « The Union of the Canadas » (Grolier). Par sa contribution originale, Jacques Monet mérite une place de choix parmi les historiens canadiens et, comme tel, il est appelé à jouer un rôle important dans la Société royale du Canada.
Dr. J. Monger
RSC Fellow, Academy of Sciences
Affiliation: Natural Resources Canada
Keywords: Cordilleran tectonics, paleogeography, public awareness
James Monger is a world leader in the application of plate tectonics of the evolution of mountain belts.
Drawing upon 20 years of careful and perceptive field studies and detailed geological mapping of various sequences of upper Paleozoic and lower Mesozoic rocks he has demonstrated that the Canadian Cordillera is a collage of displaced terranes that have been accreted to the western margin of North America. With C.A. Ross he defined facies belts of fusulinaceans and correlated them with distinctive and volcanic arc assemblages to delineate accreted terranes. Paleomagnetic studies with E. Irving documented large scale (>1000 km or more) displacement of some of the terranes.
His extensive and detailed knowledge of Cordilleran geology led to several collaborative pioneering syntheses: the first plate tectonic interpretation of the evolution of Canadian Cordillera, its first rnetamorphic map, the first suspect terrane map, a proposal for a collisional origin for the two major plutonic belts, and a greatly improved structure section across southern Canadian Cordillera.

Keywords: Biotechnology, biochemical engineering, bioremediation, chemical engineering
Murray Moo-Young has made significant contributions to several areas of biochemical engineering research. He has been a pioneer in the establishment of quantitative correlations for mass-transfer, mixing and biokinetics in bioreactor systems which led to an increased understanding and appreciation of the principles underlying the design, operation, optimization and scale-up of these systems. In addition, he has demonstrated the applicability of these principles in the development of process biotechnologies, especially those which rely on the efficient cultivation of fragile-cell cultures, in the production of a wide range of bioproducts including pharmaceuticals, biopolymers and foodstuffs. More recently, Murray has extended his research to the elucidation of bioremediation enhancement, by physicochernical pretreatment strategies, for environmental pollution control and abatement.
Dr. Robert Moody
RSC Fellow, Academy of Sciences
Affiliation: University of Victoria
Keywords: Aperiodic crystals (mathematical)
All of Moody's work has its origin in his thesis (1966) which has turned out to be of great interest. Moody, and, independently Kac in the USSR, introduced what is now referred to as the Kac-Moody Lie algebras.
The Kac-Moody Lie algebras first Attracted widespread attention after Macdonald's discovery of a general class of identities generalizing classical ones of Jacobi expressing theta-functions as infinite products. Although Macdonald was aware, and said so, that his identities were also in some sense a generalization of polynomial identities of Weyl appearing in the study of finite-dimensional Lie groups or algebras, it was Moody and Kac who realized that they could be directly expressed as an extension of Weyl's formula to the Kac-Moody Lie algebras.
Since then, several people have used this tool to interpret and generalize classical identities in the study of partitions.
