Duane Froese is a recognized international leader in the development of multidisciplinary approaches and novel molecular methods applied to samples from ancient permafrost to reconstruct long-term environmental changes in Beringia – the area east of the ancient land-bridge that connected North America to Eurasia. His findings have overturned conventional views on the age and stability of permafrost in North America, and revised thinking on the timing of major late-Pleistocene extinction events.

Duane Froese est un chef de file internationalement reconnu dans le domaine du développement d’approches multidisciplinaires et de nouvelles méthodes moléculaires appliquées aux échantillons d’anciens pergélisols, et ce afin de reconstituer les changements environnementaux à long terme survenus en Béringie—la zone située autour de l’ancien pont terrestre qui reliait l’Amérique du Nord à l’Eurasie. Ses trouvailles ont bouleversé les avis conventionnels sur l’âge et la stabilité du pergélisol en Amérique du Nord, et ont offert une nouvelle réflexion sur la date des phénomènes d’extinction majeurs du Pléistocène tardif.

Brian Fryer pioneered the development of Laser-Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass-Spectrometry This technique has revolutionized chemical analysis of Earth materials. Of particular importance is the dating of uranium minerals to a high level of temporal and spatial accuracy, and his work on trace metals and sources of pollution in the Great Lakes.

MICHAEL D. FRYZUK, Professor, Department of Chemistry, University of British Columbia, has contributed significantly in several areas of inorganic/organometallic chemistry, particularly in the design of organic ligands for manipulation of the properties of metal centres within both mono- and dinuclear species. Highly reactive hydrocarbon fragments have been stabilized at metals, often in new bonding modes, and novel reactivity patterns established including catalytic processes. The inert gas dinitrogen has been activated by an unusual side-on bonding mode within a dinuclear system, and understanding increased of factors governing the reactivity of N_ at metal centres, which is important in elucidating the chemistry of nitrogenases within enzymatic processes. His findings of unusual bonding combinations between certain atoms and metals are forcing the chemical community to reformulate ideas about bonding patterns.

Judy Fudge's interdisciplinary approach to labour law blends rigourous legal analysis with a sophisticated attention to social context. Her groundbreaking work on Canadian labour law history, the nexus between immigration and labour law, precarious work, gender and labour law, and labour law as human rights has revitalized the field of labour law worldwide by providing an innovative approach to the regulation of work in contemporary labour markets.

Judy Fudge applique au droit du travail une approche innovante et interdisciplinaire qui combine à la fois une analyse juridique rigoureuse et une attention particulière au contexte social. Ses travaux originaux sur l’histoire du droit du travail au Canada, sur les liens entre l’immigration et le droit du travail, sur les emplois précaires, sur l’égalité des sexes en rapport avec le droit du travail et sur les droits des travailleurs considérés à la lumière des droits de l’homme ont donné une nouvelle impulsion à l’étude du droit du travail à l’échelle mondiale et fait progresser la réglementation du travail.

Dov Gabbay is a leading researcher into logic, computer science, and practical reasoning of types crucial to human and to artificial intelligence. He has published numerous articles and books, besides editing collections, multi-volume handbooks and journals. He has founded entire research fields in non- classical logic, and explained fundamental philosophical concepts in terms of their practical uses. As he has shown, informal principles and vague or conflicting descriptions are often the key to learning and to natural uses of language. Formal principles can themselves throw light on this. Perhaps his main achievement is demonstrating that we must develop the right kind of philosophy if we wish to design intelligent machines.

LONG CITATION Chad Gaffield has advanced our understanding of the nineteenth- and twentieth-century history of Canada in three innovative ways: 1) by helping establish childhood and family history as an internationally recognized strength of Canadian research; 2) by enhancing our understanding of the socio-cultura1 history of language and identity as a central feature of the Canadian reality; and 3) by advancing the theory and method of historical research including computer-assisted applications and regional/national/international collaborative initiatives. In 2004 Chad Gaffield was awarded the J.B. Tyrrell Medal of the Royal Society of Canada in recognition of his contributions to Canadian history.

Irene Gammel, Canada Research Chair in Modern Literature and Culture at Ryerson University, has made major, internationally acknowledged contributions to the scholarship of modernism and to the study of Lucy Maud Montgomery. ------------------ GAMMEL, Irene –Department of English, Ryerson University Irene Gammel, Canada Research Chair in Modern Literature and Culture at Ryerson University, has made major, internationally acknowledged contributions to the scholarship of modernism and to the study of Lucy Maud Montgomery. Her biography of Dada artist Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, along with a bilingual edition of her poetry, has established Gammel as one of the foremost researchers of the avant-garde and its appropriation by mainstream cultures. An exhibition curated for the centenary of Anne of Green Gables, in addition to numerous publications on its author, have helped to consolidate Lucy Maud Montgomery studies as an academic field.

Patrice Garant, professeur titulaire de la Faculté de droit de l'Université Laval, est l'un des principaux édificateurs de la doctrine de droit administratif en contexte québécois et canadien. Parti d'une exploration de la notion de service public, il s'entoure d'équipes de jeunes chercheurs et trace graduellement, à travers de nombreuses monographies, le visage juridique de l'Administration publique, particulièrement celui de la justice administrative. L'oeuvre se ramifie : « La fonction publique canadienne et québécoise », « Droit scolaire » et, de façon imminente, un ouvrage de droit pénitentiaire. Au centre, la synthèse doctrinale s'amplifie : « Droit administratif », traité magistral dont la troisième édition consacre un troisieme tome à I'impact des Chartes des droits fondamentaux sur l'Administration publique.
