His research in these fields is marked to an unusual degree by bold imaginative conceptualization and methodological rigor. In addition to numerous articles, he has written, alone or in collaboration, about ten books, some of which have gone into several editions and have been translated into several languages. His "Main Street", concerned with the Windsor to Quebec 'corridor' has attracted considerable attention, not only for its substantive contribution, but also as an example of the school of modern quantitative locational analysis.

Yee, Howard - Astronomical Sciences - University of Toronto Howard Yee is an inventive astronomer international known for his optimal use of large telescopes in the observation of distant galaxies. He pioneered an efficient method for the discovery of large samples of distant galaxy clusters, crucial in the study of the evolution of galaxy clusters and galaxies and providing constraints on cosmological models. ------------------ Yee, Howard - Astronomical Sciences - University of Toronto Howard Yee is an inventive observational astronomer with a legendary international reputation for optimally using large telescopes for efficient and exacting measurements of very faint galaxies. In two ground-breaking surveys of known galaxy clusters and field galaxies in the redshift range of 0.1 - 0.6 he pinned down the dark matter content of the universe and the recent evolution of both galaxies and clusters. Now his pioneering red-sequence cluster survey has discovered many clusters at much higher redshift, enabling for the first time direct examination of more rapid evolution as clusters grew and galaxies were assembled in a much younger universe.
