from the University of Alberta. He is
Professor Emeritus in the Department
of Earth & Ocean Sciences, University
of British Columbia, where he has
worked since joining the faculty in
1970. His research centers on multi-
channel seismic reflection, seismic refraction/wide-angle reflection, and
other geophysical studies of the earth’s
lithosphere on land and at sea; and relation of the geophysical results to geology and tectonics. In 1987, he was
appointed Director of Lithoprobe, Canada’s highly successful national geoscience project, and remained as such until
the project’s conclusion in 2005. He has received many
honors, among them the Order of Canada and many
society awards, including honorary membership in the
Canadian SEG.
