Paul Hoffman
RSC Fellow, Academy of Sciences
Affiliation: Harvard University
Paul Felix Hoffman's publications and lectures have won him international recognition as one of Canada's most brilliant young geologists. His well conceived and beautifully documented field work in the Bear-Slave region of the Precambrian Shield has resulted in exciting new concepts which suggest that Plate tectonic processes and the Wilson Cycle were operative more than 2,000 million years ago in the Coronation Geosyncline. Thus the belt reflects the opening and closing of an ocean basin along the northwestern margin of North America. Furthermore he was the first to recognize that Proterozoic basins adjoining the Coronation Geosyncline are probably aulacogens representing failed arms of triple-armed rifts. As a result of an incredible rate of detailed mapping, he has demonstrated that the deformation of the Athapuscow Aulacogen was characterized by northward gliding nappes - the first demonstration of this type of tectonics in the Precambrian Shield. Finally, he is an outstanding lecturer having been honoured as a 'distinguished Lecturer' by several North American geological societies.

Dr. John Holmes
RSC Fellow, Academy of Sciences
Affiliation: University of Ottawa
Keywords: Chemistry of gas-phase ions
John L. Holmes' work on the kinetics and energetics of gas-phase reactions of organic ions has made him a leader in this field. His development of new methods for measuring the release and partitioning of energy in ionic fragmentations, from the detailed shapes of metastable ion peaks, has provided by far the most quantitative measures of these important quantities. A critical survey of the data for the heats of formation or organic ions has led him to formulate general rules for assessing and predicting ionic heats of formation, a scheme that complements that for neutral compounds.
