RSC Fellow, Academy of Social Sciences

Keywords: Thèorie de la localisation, territoire, géographie industrielle, amènegement, métropoles
Deceased Date: 2008-04-23
NOTICE LONGUE
L’œuvre tout à fait notable et internationalement reconnue de Claude Manzagol porte sur la théorie de la localisation et la dynamique des agglomérations métropolitaines, dont celle de Montréal. Elle identifie les fonctions, dans l’activité productive, de leurs espaces aires centrales et environnantes, et les conséquences de leur différenciation pour la formation et l’emploi de diverses ressources humaines. Elle explique ensuite le maintien et l’évolution de l’interdépendance entre agglomérations, vu, d’une part, la centralité des sièges sociaux et du pouvoir, la haute technologie nouvelle, ses parcs scientifiques et ses technopoles, la persistance d’agglomérations industrielles spécialisées, mais face aussi, d’autre part, à de nouveaux partages grâce à la croissance du libre-échange international et à la pratique de la sous-traitance.

Pierre Maranda
RSC Fellow, Academy of Social Sciences
Affiliation: Université Laval
Keywords: Melanesie, hypermedia, cognition, modelisation, semiotique
Deceased Date: 2015-07-05
The energy and drive of Dr. Pierre Maranda's scholarly pursuits has become a legend and example to his colleagues and students. Combining a command of philosophy and theory with a respect for the detail of evidence, a concern for human and aesthetic values, and an ingenuity in the handling of mathematical technique, he has used his talents creatively to provide new insights into the nature of mythology and of human society.
Equally at home in France, Québec, British Columbia, the United States, or the South Seas, he has become a central figure in the national and international organisation of cooperative intellectuel enterprise as an anthropologiste, a contributor to the growth of semiotics, and a flag bearer for computer applications.

Mr. Paul Marmet
RSC Fellow,
Deceased Date: 2005-05-20
Quoique plutôt jeune, Paul Marmet a déjà acquis une réputation internationale enviable dans le domaine de la spectroscopie électronique et de l'étude des collisions d'électrons atomiques. Il a perfectionné l'instrumentation dans ce domaine par plusieurs ordres de grandeur et par la suite a pu, par des mesures de grande précision, balayer un grand nombre de données erronnées qui paraissaient dans la littérature au sujet des états excités dans les atomes et les molécules atmosphériques, et à mettre en évidence de véritables valeurs.
Ses contributions lui ont valu cette année la prestigieuse médaille Herzberg accordée par l'Association canadienne des physiciens au jeune chercheur qui a fait une contribution de marque.
