Hugh John Greenwood, Associate Professor of Geology at the University of British Columbia, is a young and able experimental petrologist already widely renowned for his clear, objective, and careful studies of fundamental problems involving formation of minerals and mineral assemblages under conditions of high temperatures and pressures and in the presence of more than one gas phase. He has demonstrated an ability not only in identifying significant petrological problems, but also in producing imaginative theoretical solutions, and in devising or adapting sophisticated equipment to obtain a confirmation of his conclusions.

LONG For more than two decades, Derek Gregory has been one of the leading human geographers in the world writing in English. His innovative books and articles on social theory, emphasizing the interrelations of space, culture and power, have reached an international audience in many disciplines. Recent research has examined Europe’s nineteenth century encounter with Egypt, while the current ground-breaking book, The Colonial Present, brings the analysis of cultural politics to the contemporary geopolitics of the Middle East. He is a dazzling teacher, and widely acknowledged through international honours. SHORT Derek Gregory is a dazzling teacher and a world leader in human geography.

Peter Greiner has achieved international recognition for his outstanding work in the theory of partial differential equations. Already his outstanding paper on the asymptotic expansion for the heat equation won him a reputation for fine work in a demanding field. His most recent work, in personal collaboration with leaders of the Princeton school, has resulted in the discovery of conditions for the solvability of the Lewy equation, a challenge to mathematicians for the last twenty years, and in a monograph recording major advances in the 2-Neumann problem which is the threshold of the next generation's work on boundary value problems.

GRIER, James – Faculty of Music, Western University James Grier has published widely on textual criticism and editing music, music and liturgy in medieval Aquitaine, and popular music since World War II. His research links a close reading of musical style with the broad historical context in which musicians create, disseminate and practise their repertories. International recognition for his work includes support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, the American Council of Learned Societies, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and by a Killam Research Fellowship.

James Grier a publié sur la critique textuelle et la recension de la musique, musique et liturgie en Aquitaine médiévale, et musique populaire d’après le deuxième guerre mondiale. Ses recherches lient une lecture approfondie du style musical avec le contexte historique dans lequel les musiciens créent, disséminent et pratiquent leurs répertoires. La reconnaissance internationale de ses accomplissements inclut le soutien du Conseil canadien de recherches en sciences humaines, de l’Institute for Advanced Study à Princeton, de l’American Council of Learned Societies, du National Endowment for the Humanities, et une Bourse de recherche Killam.

Naomi Griffiths is the most important English-speaking historian of the Acadians. Her reputation has led to lecture tours sponsored by governments and universities across the Atlantic as well as in North America. Even more impressive, her work is fully accepted by the Acadians themselves. There is not a grain of prosiness in her writing; it is brisk, trenchant, as if she were impatient to get at the truth. Her history of the Acadians is based upon extensive research in municipal archives on both sides of the Atlantic, and her most recent monographs have widened our perceptions of Acadian society, indeed, laid foundations for a distinctive interpretation of Acadian historical experience. There is really no one close to her in quality; one wonders what Acadian history could have been without her.

David Griller is distinguished for his outstanding researches on reactive chemical intermediates. He has determined structures, modes of reaction and thermodynamic properties of many short-lived chemical species. He has pioneered in the development of concepts and methodologies that have been avidly adopted by other chemical research workers. Griller's work has laid the foundation for the development of several new synthetic methods and he has tamed highly reactive species using molecular shielding to protect their active sites. His research on reactive intermediates has been both diverse and profound and continues to have a major impact in all areas of chemistry.

GRIMSHAW, Jeremy – Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, University of Ottawa, Jeremy Grimshaw is one of the world’s foremost healthcare implementation researchers. He has produced an innovative, interdisciplinary body of research developing the scientific basis of how to promote the uptake of evidence in healthcare to improve patient outcomes and ensure healthcare system sustainability. His research contributions have informed policy and practice in Canada and globally.

Jeremy Grimshaw est l’un des plus éminents chercheurs au monde dans le domaine de la mise en œuvre des soins de santé. Ses recherches novatrices et interdisciplinaires ont fait croître le bassin de données scientifiques sur les façons de promouvoir l’utilisation de données probantes pour améliorer les résultats des patients et veiller à la durabilité du système de santé. Ses contributions ont permis d’éclairer des politiques et des pratiques au Canada et dans le monde entier.

Yolande Grisé est aujourd'hui bien reconnue parmi les chercheurs et le milieu culturel. Ses publications (14 livres parus, d'autres en chantier, une quinzaine d'articles savants et de nombreux textes publiés dans des périodiques littéraires et culturels) l'attestent hautement. Spécialiste dès le départ dans les études anciennes, elle est devenue depuis une quinzaine d'années une experte notable dans les lettres canadiennes, aussi bien franco-ontariennes que québécoises. Il importe de souligner aussi son apport considérable à l'organisation de la recherche (comme directrice du Centre de recherche en civilisation canadienne-française, à I'Université d'Ottawa) et à la promotion générale de la culture en Ontario (par un engagement hardi, soutenu et même médiatique).

Philippe Gros is a geneticist who has developed and implemented innovative tools in animal models to identify disease-causing gene mutations, characterizing their functions, and extending the relevance of these findings to human disease. His research focus is on human diseases with a complex genetic component, such as developmental defects, cancer and susceptibility to infections.

Philippe Gros est reconnu pour ses travaux de recherche exceptionnels sur le développement de nouvelles méthodes génomiques chez les modèles animaux, ainsi que leur application à l’étude des maladies à caractère complexe chez l’humain, telles la résistance aux anti-cancéreux, les défauts de formation du tube neural et la susceptibilité aux infections.
