As one of Canada's leading economic historians, Prof. Dales has achieved an international reputation in Canadian studies. Throughout his career he has displayed great competence in applying the tools of economic analysis to complex historical problems. A highly productive scholar, his published research reveals a wide range of interests. This breadth of view is reflected in his writings on the
economics of Mercantilism, Canada's energy resources and their place in the country's industrial and manufacturing development, Canadian commercial policy, past and present, and, most recently, important contributions to the economics of pollution and its control. His quite unique capacity for combining rigorous analysis with genuine historical insight have made him one of the most distinguished scholars in the Canadian academic community.

Roger Willis Daley, Chief Scientist of the Canadian Climate Centre in Downsview, Ontario, is a dynamic meteorologist who has made major contributions to the development of numerical weather prediction models. In the 1970s Dr. Daley's group at the Canadian Meteorological Centre produced the first operational forecast models using the spectral technique and finite elements. Variations of these models form the basis for virtually all global forecasting in the world today. More recently, Dr. Daley has made important advances in atmospheric data assimilation - the combination of model forecasts and observations to optimally estimate the state of the atmosphere. His 1991 book "Atmospheric Data Analysis" is regarded as a definitive text in this field.
Dr. James Daniels
Affiliation: None

Daniels' 18 publications (four in 1958, seven since arrival in Canada in 1953), contain three scientific 'firsts': participation in the classic pioneering work at Oxford on nuclear orientation and his observation at the University of British Columbia of the influence of paramagnetic resonance absorption on the Faraday effect and of nuclear orientation in antiferromagnetic crystals.
Equally skilled in the laboratory and in theoretical analysis, he served as consultant to the University of Pennsylvania and as a UNESCO expert in Argentina advising on establishing facilities for nuclear demagnetization and for research in nuclear and paramagnetic resonance. The quality of his work has received wide recognition.

Dr. Alan Davenport
Keywords: Wind engineering and disaster mitigation
Deceased Date: 2009-07-19

Professor Davenport's research and teaching have led to a better understanding of the response of structures to wind and earthquake forces. Not only has he contributed in a major way to fundamental science, but he has earned an international reputation for the development and testing of some of the world's major structures located in Canada, the United States, Europe and Australia. His work has advanced the state of the art of Structural Engineering as reflected in new design criteria and revised building codes. Professor Davenport's distinction as a scholar and his reputation as a professional engineer have been widely acclaimed both in Canada and abroad; his achievement inspires his academic colleagues and adds lustre to the name of Canadian Engineering.

Le prof. DAVID est reconnu internationalement pour l'originalité et l'importance de ses recherches appliquées en géostatistique. Comme ingénieur minier il a opérationalisé la théorie des variables régionalisées développé de nouvelles approches pour l'analyse des variogrammes, amélioré les méthodes d'échantillonnage, et a été le champion mondial de l'application de la géostatistique à une grande variété de gîtes métallifères et non-métallifères. Il a publié le premier manuel de géostatistique appliquée et a été le premier à avoir développé un système complet d'analyse géostatistique sur ordinateur et sur micro-ordinateur. Il a été le pionnier de l'introduction de la géostatistique en mécanique des sols et en cartographie. Agé de 42 ans il est l'auteur de plus de 100 publications et il a été le principal levier de la formation spécialisée en géostatistique de 1500 professionnels et il a enseigné la géostatistique sur tous les continents.

Dr. de Bold has shed great lustre on this country to which he came in 1968 as a graduate student from Argentina. Within 5 years of receiving his Ph.D. from Queen's University he had succeeded in identifying and isolating specialized granules from specific locations within the heart musculature and a few years later showed that these contained a specific hormone, atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), a basic regulator of salt and water metabolism. In 1983 he reported the chemical sequence of this hormone which has now been synthesized and is undergoing extensive clinical trials. Dr. de Bold has been internationally recognized as the discoverer of this important new hormone.
