Dr. John Hardy
RSC Fellow, Academy of Sciences
Affiliation: Texas A & M University
Keywords: Nuclear, physics
John Hardy, who as a student was one of the first to exploit the experimental and theoretical opportunities presented by the discovery of delayed proton emission, has become one of Canada's best nuclear physicists as recognized by his winning recently the Herzberg Medal of the Canadian Association of Physicists. Equally at home in theory and experiment, he has introduced techniques of unusual precision as part of a broad program studying nuclei far from stability, a field crucial to our further understanding of the nucleus. One important result has been the proof of the concordance of certain highly precise beta decay rates in nuclei. This concordance and a comparison with data from hyperon and muon decay has profound implications for theories of the universality of the weak interaction. He has recently identified five members of a new series of delayed proton emitters making him a cc-discoverer of nine of the nineteen such nuclei known below mass 100.

Dr. Hardy's careful and innovative work on the properties of solid hydrogen represents a fundamental contribution to Physics and to Chemistry. He has made many contributions to the study of cryogenic atomic hydrogen, including the development of a cryogenic hydrogen maser. Since 1989 he has worked exclusively on high temperature superconductivity and made important contributions to the question of the ground state of the cuprate superconductors. Dr. Hardy has a deep feeling for logic and elegance in experimental design. He transmits this feeling not only to his students, but also to his colleagues and to their students.

Richard Harris
RSC Fellow, Academy of Social Sciences
Affiliation: Simon Fraser University
Richard Harris is one of the most talented and creative economists of his generation. He is recognized internationally for this theoretical and empirical work on computer-based general equilibrium models and his many important publications on industrial organization, optimal taxation and cost benefit analysis. His research on trade, industrial policy and international competition has become a reference point in the Canadian debate on free trade.
Harris is best known for his pathbreaking studies of general equilibrium models of international trade. He has devised the theory required for.predicting the effects of trade policy in the presence of complex market structures and economies of scale. His empirical work has transformed our perception of the effects of alternative trade and tax policies in Canada. This research has made a lasting contribution to the Canada debate on free trade, and has been drawn upon by those who favour a free trade agreement and by those who oppose it. Widely respected as a distinguished scholar, a supervisor of many fine dissertations, and an active participant in the affairs of the economics profession, Richard Harris has earned his place as a member of the Royal Society of Canada.

William E. Harris, a Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at McMaster University, is the world’s leading expert in the study of globular star clusters in galaxies. His extensive investigations of the properties of individual globular clusters in our galaxy such as their ages, luminosities, metallicities, and their systemization in a web-based catalogue are among the most exacting and widely used studies in the field. Among the implications of these results for galaxy formation is the fact that metal-poor globular clusters formed at the same time throughout the entire halo of the galaxy. He developed methods at the world’s best telescopes for using globular cluster systems to accurately measure the cosmological distance scale. His vigorous exploration of globular cluster systems in a host of different types of galaxies has opened up an entire field of extragalactic research. This work is having a growing impact on our understanding of stellar populations and galaxy formation.

RSC Fellow, Academy of Social Sciences
Affiliation: Université de Genève
La carrière de M. Alain Haurie est remarquable. Il est devenu professeur à I'Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales de Montréal en 1963. A cette époque, l'enseignement de l'administration accordait une large place à la description du cadre juridique et des institutions, ainsi qu'au transfers des techniques et croyances des administrateurs en exercice. Mathématicien, M. Haurie s'est efforcé d'y introduire une nouvelle dimension. Par son enseignement et ses recherches - qui sont la source de plus d'une centaine de publications - il a persuadé ses collègues et étudiants que les méthodes quantitatives permettent de mieux préparer les décisions et doivent, par conséquent, trouver place dans la formation des administrateurs. Il a « modélisé » des problèmes de grande importance, soient ceux de la gestion des systèmes énergétiques et des établissements de santé. On lui doit la fondation du Groupe d'Etudes et de Recherches en Analyse des Décisions, qui recrute ses collaborateurs dans la plupart des universités et grandes écoles du Québec.
Le travail inlassable de Monsieur Haurie le place parmi ceux qui ont fait progresser les sciences de la gestion et contribué à l'étude de problèmes importants.

As an internationally-respected leader in the crystallography and crystal chemistry of minerals, Dr. Hawthorne has utilized the most advanced physical and chemical analytical methods to characterize the detailed structure of an extreme variety of natural inorganic compounds. By the application of sophisticated mathematical techniques, he has been able to unify the crystal-chemical relationships between nearly all types of non-metallic minerals, and to provide a structurally sound basis for classifying all such minerals. This unified chemical-structural approach has enabled him to lay a fundamental groundwork for interpreting the paragenesis of the minerals in some of the earth's most important rock masses and ore deposits.

Dr. John Hayes is the acknowledged authority on Late Roman pottery and his expert knowledge is eagerly sought by archaeologists working anywhere within the Empire's sphere of influence - from Britain to India, from Central Europe to Ethiopia. As he has gradually refined the picture of ceramic production at various centres throughout the Empire and documented the export of their wares far and wide, the value of such wares has gradually approached the accuracy of coins as a tool for dating in archaeological excavations, and has formed an important source for the writing of ancient economic history.
