Manfred Jericho, Department of Physics, Dalhousie University, has gained a high international reputation as an inventive and careful condensed-matter experimentalist who has made timely and incisive contributions to a variety of subjects. He has chosen problems for their intrinsic interest rather than for their convenience, and has devised the equipment and techniques needed for the experimental resolution of conflicts between theory and experiment, and among theories. While his earlier work concentrated on the study of electron-phonon interactions and of charge-density waves, he has more recently made valuable contributions in the fields of scanning-tunneling and atomic-force microscopy. His elegant pioneering studies of the elastic properties of biological membranes promise to revolutionize the understanding of these materials.

R. E. Jervis was among the pioneers in developing nuclear methods of analysis. He was especially instrumental in devising ways to apply nuclear reactions brought about in reactors and accelerators in studying trace substances down to the ppb level in chemical and biological systems. He was the first to study heavy metals including Hg, As, Pb, Cd, in the Canadian environment and diet using techniques of radioanalytical chemistry and has also pioneered, world-wide, the use of human tissues such as hair and nails to monitor bodily accumulation of toxic substances. Besides their use in the environment and in medicine, these techniques have opened several entirely new fields in forensic science.

Avocat, médecin et ancien Premier ministre du Québec, Pierre Marc Johnson enseigne présentement le droit de l'environnement et les politiques publiques à l'Université McGill. Il est également professeur au Centre de médecine, d'éthique et de droit, où, avec une équipe de jeunes chercheurs, il se penche en particulier sur les questions de l'incertitude scientifique en analyse des risques et des responsabilités administratives en matière d'environnement. Ses préoccupations et ses recherches ont amené M. Johnson à jouer un rôle de plus en plus important dans certains organismes, telle la Table ronde nationale sur l'environnement et l'économie dont il est le vice-président et le responsable du comité des affaires étrangères.
