Long Citation Walter Craig is one of the world leaders in nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) and their applications, particularly as they apply to the mathematical study of water waves. He has made deep and lasting contributions to others areas of PDEs which are among the milestones in the field including Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser theory for Hamiltonian PDEs through his work on the small divisor problem, and progress on the Navier-Stokes and Boltzmann equations. He is the Director of the Applied and Industrial Mathematics Laboratory at McMaster and has provided mentorship to an enormous number of young mathematicians through his academic leadership.

Long Citation (for publication and press release) Peter Sabor's ground-breaking work on major authors such as Samuel Richardson, Frances Burney, and Jane Austen has earned him the Canada Research Chair in Eighteenth-Century Studies at McGill University. As a scholar of impressive breadth, and outstanding editor of work previously inaccessible, he has opened up his field to new generations. As Director of the Burney Centre he works with a large team of scholars to produce a set of standard volumes that will enormously enlarge our knowledge of the literature and history of his period. He is co-general editor of a 25-volume edition of Richardson's Works and Correspondence and general editor of a 6-volume edition of Burney's Court Journals, both in progress.

Ray Carlberg is one of Canada's most internationally renowned and innovative astrophysicists. He has made seminal contributions to understanding galactic structure, dark matter and dark energy. He utilizes both theoretical and observational techniques, often within extremely effective collaborations he has formed and led. ------------------ CARLBERG, Raymond G. –Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Toronto Ray Carlberg is one of Canada's most internationally renowned and innovative astrophysicists. He has made seminal contributions to understanding why spiral patterns occur in galactic disks, the origins of elliptical galaxies, the distribution of cold dark matter in gravitationally bound and dynamically relaxed "halos", made an important modern measurement of the dark matter content of the universe and recently made the first high quality measurement that describes the mysterious dark energy that causes the expansion of the universe to accelerate. He utilizes both theoretical and observational techniques, often within extremely effective collaborations he has formed and led.

Pittman, Quentin J - Medical Sciences - University of Calgary Quentin J. Pittman studies brain responses to peripheral inflammation and other stressors. In addition he studies the impact of fatal and neonatal stressors on adult brain physiology and pharmacology. ------------------ Pittman, Quentin J - Medical Sciences - University of Calgary Quentin J. Pittman is recognized internationally for his original contributions to our understanding of the roles of centrally acting neuropeptides in regulating fever, inflammation, blood pressure and neuroendocrine function. His integrative approach to systems neuroscience has led to an understanding of the complex interactions between peripheral inflammation and changes in the brain’s neurotransmitter function. His discovery of the impact of neonatal inflammation on brain function in the adult represents a paradigm shift in understanding the consequences of infections in the newborn. His integrative approach to neuroscience serves as a superb example of systems biology research for his colleagues and trainees.

Cruikshank, Julie - Anthropology - University of British Columbia Julie Cruikshank is an international leader in subarctic anthropology, particularly the living traditions of oral literature and storytelling in the Yukon Territory. Her publications trace the interplay between indigenous knowledge and narrative forms with experiences of landscape, colonialism, societal change and especially how differing cultural groups ‘‘know’’ the natural world and their own agency. ------------------ Cruikshank, Julie - Anthropology - University of British Columbia Julie Cruikshank is an international leader in the anthropology of sub-Arctic peoples, particularly the living traditions of oral literature and storytelling. Her ethnographic experience is rooted in the Yukon where she lived for many years recording life and traditional stories of Athapaskan and Tlingit elders, particularly women. Her acclaimed publications sensitively trace the interplay between indigenous knowledge and narrative forms and experiences of landscapes, colonialism, and societal change. Her work has recovered aspects of indigenous history neglected in standard texts. She does so by raising fundamental questions of how differing cultural groups “know” the natural world and their own agency.

ENGLAND, John H. - Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Alberta John England is internationally acclaimed for his 45-year survey throughout Arctic Canada reconstructing the behaviour of ancient ice sheets, sea ice and sea level that illuminate our understanding of modern Arctic environments. He is one of Canada’s prestigious NSERC Northern Research Chairs, spearheaded the establishment of Canada’s northernmost National Park, is a leading advocate for a Canadian Polar Policy and is actively engaged in mentoring Inuit and Inuvialuit students.

ENGLAND, John H. - Département des sciences de la terre et de l’atmosphère, University of Alberta L’étude d’une durée de 45 ans effectuée par John England sur le comportement des calottes glaciaires anciennes, de la glace flottante et des niveaux de la mer dans l’Arctique canadien lui a valu une réputation d’envergure internationale en plus d’enrichir notre compréhension de l’environnement arctique moderne. Le professeur England est l’un des titulaires des chaires de recherche nordiques du prestigieux Conseil de recherches en sciences naturelles et en génie du Canada. Il a de plus été à l’origine de la création du parc national le plus au Nord du pays. Il constitue l’un des plus ardents promoteurs de l’adoption d’une politique polaire par le Canada et est fermement engagé dans la formation d’étudiants Inuit et Inuvialuit.

M. Fortin, de I'Université du Québec à Montréal, est I'un des meilleurs économistes de sa génération au Canada. Ses travaux ont présenté des analyses fines et précises des grands problèmes de politiques macro-économiques au Québec et au Canada. Il a cependant aussi su traduire avec beaucoup de bonheur les résultats de ces analyses techniques pour les décideurs politiques et le grand public. Auteur de plus de 70 publications scientifiques, livres et articles, parus au Canada et à I'étranger, Pierre Fortin est I'un des économistes les plus influents au Québec.

Kresimir Krnjevic has a research career extending from Edinburgh to Canberra to Montreal, beginning with the physiology of nerve trunks, and extending to structures and processes of increasing complexity within the nervous system. In Canberra, Krnjevic identified nerve-fibre branching points as sites of conduction failure in fatigue. Later, with the aid of microelectrophoretic techniques for injecting ions close to or inside single brain neurons he showed that certain suspected neurotransmitters act by altering neuronal membrane permeability. His latest studies on the gating mechanisms in the cuneate nucleus and on the depressant effect of intraneuronal calcium injection, promise to be equally important.
