LONG Peter Grant is recognized for his contributions to our understanding of natural selection and the origin of species. His long-term research of Darwin's finches on Galápagos islands is the most successful ever field study of evolution. He has demonstrated that natural selection occurs frequently, that evolution may be extremely rapid, that competition drives divergence of species, and that new species originate by natural selection on traits and random drift of mating signals. Through his own publications and books, and through prize-winning books and documentaries about his work, he has influenced a generation of biologists and aided public understanding of evolution. SHORT Peter Grant is recognized for his contributions to our understanding of natural selection and the origin of species. He has demonstrated that natural selection occurs frequently, that evolution may be extremely rapid, that competition drives divergence of species, and that new species originate by natural selection on traits and random drift of mating signals.

Notice longue Les travaux d'Andrew Granville incluent de nombreuses contributions de première importance aux aspects combinatoire, algébrique, diophantien et analytique de la théorie des nombres. Granville s'attaque à des questions fondamentales, a résolu de plusieurs problèmes qui étaient demeurés ouverts depuis de nombreuses années et a reçu de nombreux honneurs. Sa recherche est toujours marquée par une grande originalité. Il a servi sur plusieurs comités nationaux et internationaux ainsi qu'au sein d'équipes de rédaction. Son impact auprès des jeunes scientifiques est remarquable; de plus, sa réputation comme organisateur d'événements scientifiques n'est plus à faire. Granville est aujourd'hui un des premiers mathématiciens canadiens et un des plus grands théoriciens des nombres analytiques au monde.

Prof. G.A. Gratzer is recognized as one of the top six workers in the field of Universal algebra and lattice theory. Amongst his ninety research papers there are a number which have solved outstanding problems. Besides his research work, he is a recognized expositor, having published three books which have been well received everywhere. Since coming to Canada, he has integrated himself with the Canadian mathematical community - a fact which is attested to by invitations to give invited lectures at ten Canadian universities. He was awarded the Stacey Prize in 1972.

MICHAEL W. GRAY is the world leader in several areas of molecular and evolutionary biology. He provided the best and earliest proof that mitochondria, respiratory organelles of higher cells, are highly degenerate bacteria. He has discovered a world of molecular diversity in the chromosomes of mitochondria, demonstrating that genes can be thoroughly scrambled and still function, and that in some cases the genetic message must be edited to make sense. He has also made seminal contributions to our understanding of the structure and function of informational RNAs, and enriched our understanding of the evolution of complexity at the molecular level.

Stephanie Green is an internationally recognized expert on biodiversity conservation in aquatic ecosystems. Dr. Green combines field, lab, and modeling techniques to investigate how human-mediated stresses such as biological invasion and climate change alter marine and freshwater food webs. Her collaborative, multidisciplinary research with scientists, policy makers, and non-profit organizations in over 20 countries has been recognized with the Earth Leadership Fellowship and a Sloan Research Fellowship in Ocean Sciences.

Stephanie Green est une experte reconnue sur le plan international dans le domaine de la conservation de la biodiversité dans les écosystèmes aquatiques. Elle combine des techniques de terrain, de laboratoire et de modélisation pour étudier comment les stress d’origine humaine, tels que les invasions biologiques et le changement climatique, modifient les réseaux alimentaires marins et d’eau douce. Ses recherches multidisciplinaires menées en collaboration avec des scientifiques, des décideurs politiques et des organisations à but non lucratif dans plus de 20 pays ont été récompensées par un statut de membre de Earth Leadership et la bourse de recherche Sloan en sciences océaniques.

GREEN, Douglas R - Department of Immunology, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Douglas R. Green is an internationally recognized, highly cited scientist who has made seminal contributions to our understanding of cell death and cell survival, especially in cancer and in the immune system. His work has changed how we think about the function of the mitochondria, which not only provide energy to the cell but are also the focus of the “switch” between cellular life and death.

Hugh John Greenwood, Associate Professor of Geology at the University of British Columbia, is a young and able experimental petrologist already widely renowned for his clear, objective, and careful studies of fundamental problems involving formation of minerals and mineral assemblages under conditions of high temperatures and pressures and in the presence of more than one gas phase. He has demonstrated an ability not only in identifying significant petrological problems, but also in producing imaginative theoretical solutions, and in devising or adapting sophisticated equipment to obtain a confirmation of his conclusions.

Amy Greer, Canada Research Chair (Tier II) in Population Disease Modelling and Associate Professor is an internationally recognized scholar dedicated to improving global infectious disease preparedness and response. Her research focuses on the intersection of epidemiology, ecology, and mathematics. The impact of her work is felt across sectors and borders preparing governments and industry to act quickly and decisively when the next outbreak hits human or animal populations.

Amy Greer, titulaire de la Chaire de recherche du Canada de niveau II en modélisation des maladies des populations et professeure agrégée, est une chercheuse de renommée internationale qui se consacre à l'amélioration de la préparation et de la réponse aux maladies infectieuses dans le monde. Ses recherches se situent à l'intersection de l'épidémiologie, de l'écologie et des mathématiques. L'impact de son travail se fait sentir dans tous les secteurs et au-delà des frontières, préparant les gouvernements et l'industrie à agir rapidement et de manière décisive lorsque la prochaine épidémie touchera les populations humaines ou animales.

LONG For more than two decades, Derek Gregory has been one of the leading human geographers in the world writing in English. His innovative books and articles on social theory, emphasizing the interrelations of space, culture and power, have reached an international audience in many disciplines. Recent research has examined Europe’s nineteenth century encounter with Egypt, while the current ground-breaking book, The Colonial Present, brings the analysis of cultural politics to the contemporary geopolitics of the Middle East. He is a dazzling teacher, and widely acknowledged through international honours. SHORT Derek Gregory is a dazzling teacher and a world leader in human geography.

Peter Greiner has achieved international recognition for his outstanding work in the theory of partial differential equations. Already his outstanding paper on the asymptotic expansion for the heat equation won him a reputation for fine work in a demanding field. His most recent work, in personal collaboration with leaders of the Princeton school, has resulted in the discovery of conditions for the solvability of the Lewy equation, a challenge to mathematicians for the last twenty years, and in a monograph recording major advances in the 2-Neumann problem which is the threshold of the next generation's work on boundary value problems.
