is pleased to announce that dr. peter hollings, associate professor of geology, is the recipient of the 2008 william harvey gross award. the award - a major honour in the field of geology - was presented by the mineral deposits division (mdd) of the geological association of canada at an annual luncheon held in quebec city in may.
bestowed each year to a geoscientist less than 40 years of age, the award recognizes those who have made significant contributions to a field generally referred to as economic geology (in a canadian context). the contribution on which the award is based may relate to studies that include all aspects of economic geology, and which represents the broad-spectrum of fields to which william gross himself contributed. these areas include mineral exploration and development, field-based studies, and either applied or fundamental scientific research.
hollings has recently returned from a sabbatical in australia where he was working with a team of international researchers to better understand the formation of mineral deposits in chile, mexico, and the philippines. his research has helped develop better exploration models for companies working to locate major deposits of porphyry copper and gold. closer to home, hollings is working with a number of local exploration companies including metalcorp, houston lake mining, and the musselwhite mine.
"it's not really any specific project that earned me this award, but the body of work i've generated to date," hollings explains. "i was extremely pleased to accept this honour, not only because of the tremendous time and effort that went into the research over the years, and the positive impact it has on the field and the industry it serves, but also because it reflects the global value of research being conducted by 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜
researchers."
the gross award consists of a medal as well as a cash supplement that is drawn from an endowed fund provided by corona corp., a pennsylvania-based company that provides precision metal-forming design services and manufacturing to a wide range of business sectors.
