Dr. Amos has made significant contributions to the sciences of applied and theoretical earth processes. His most significant contributions have been to quantify risks associated with mass movement, sediment stability, and gas escape within the Canadian and US oil and gas industry which he has applied to risk assessment of coastal and fluvial systems related to climate change. This has been achieved by design and construction of innovative technologies and numerical simulations that have been used in applied setting for identification/exploitation/management of natural resources and for sustainable development. He has worked in almost all natural environments (lacustrine, fluvial, coastal marine, continental shelf, and deep sea) and all climatic regions (Arctic, temperate, Mediterranean, and tropical) gaining a widespread knowledge and experience of global systems and their complexities. He has been chief scientist on over 30 scientific oceanographic cruises and participated in many others involving multi-disciplinary studies of earth systems - the latest of which (Euro-Delta and EUStrataform) are undertaken with the multi-institutional, multi-national flagship project of ONR. He has published 180 scientific papers and scientific reports on his work. He has lectured extensively in Canada, U.S., U.K., Italy, W. Africa, Argentina, and China. He has given courses in advanced geodynamics in Argentina, Brazil, China, Philippines, and Italy. Much of this work is reviewed in a special issue of Continental Shelf Research (1991) that he edited. For his work, he was awarded the APICS Distinguished Lecturer. Whilst in Canada he managed the Sediment Geodynamics Group at the première oceanographic institution of Canada (BIO) building on experiences gained as office manager for Woodward Clyde Consultants (a San Francisco based geoscience consultancy with offices world-wide) during the expansion of the Canadian offshore oil and gas industry.
Dr. Amos has worked extensively with universities, industry, and government around the world on applied environmental and engineering problems. He was responsible for the development of the LISP program: a multi-disciplinary study method to address environmental issues being adopted in U.K. (LOIS program in Humber estuary); western Canada (Fraser Delta pollution study); and Argentina (Bahia Blanca channel stability). He has operated as a UN Consultant to China, and an advisor to CIDA (Canadian Government) on oceanography in Argentina. He is a member of SCOR Group 106 on the impact of sea level rise on muddy coasts. His present honorary roles include: the editorial boards of Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science and Journal of Coastal Research; member of the Research and Development Committee of SOC; member of Review Panel for EUROMARGINS, European Science Foundation; Board of Directors of School of Specialization in the Coastal Zone, Italy. Since moving to Europe he has won various EU-projects, UK national grants, and other awards having achieved a success rate for funding of 55%.

He has been on assignments in India as a consultant for United Nations Development Program and is currently an expert to the World Meteorological Organization.
Mr. Crookshank is a recognized leader in the development and application of a wide variety of numerical, physical, and hybrid models to solve problems associated with rivers, lakes, estuaries, and coastal areas. He has led project teams and consulted for many engineering and environmental studies that have predicted extreme waves and storm surge, simulated tidal and wave-induced currents, predicted flood routing and dambreak, and modelled wave agitation in harbours and marinas. Other studies include sediment scour and deposition, dredge spoil disposal, shoreline erosion, oil spills, water quality and pollution.
Mr. Crookshank has also been very active in the computer systems and informatics fields. He led the development of the first generalized experiment control, data acquisition and analysis system, known as GEDAP, for integrating and standardising physical modelling. GEDAP has been widely accepted and is being actively used in many laboratories throughout the world. For numerical modelling, he led the development of HYDA. HYDA used state-of-the-art computer technology to provide an innovative virtual reality environment for hydronumerical modelling. Presently, he is leading the development of a new PC-based integrated environmental simulation framework, EnSim. EnSim applications can be designed to run an individual model or a suite of models to provide answers to problems for a wide range of environmental prediction and decision support systems such as flood forecasting or watershed management.
Mr. Crookshank has authored over 70 papers and publications, and lectured in India, Korea, France, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, and Canada on the subjects of modelling and integrated software systems.

B. A. (Keele) Dual Honours in Biology and English. 1966.
Dr. Daborn is Director of the Acadia Centre for Estuarine Research and a Professor of Biology at Acadia University. During the last 30 years, he has been involved in many kinds of research dealing primarily with aquatic ecosystems. Initially the research was with lakes and ponds; with emphases on the community structure and energy flow through the biological community. Since moving to Acadia University, he has worked extensively on estuaries, particularly the macrotidal estuaries of the Bay of Fundy system. The initial challenge was to address the environmental implications of tidal power. From 1976 to 1984, Acadia personnel were intricately involved in coordinating the Fundy Environmental Studies Committee, a consortium of more than 50 scientists from universities and government research institutions. When that program was terminated in 1984, the Acadia Centre for Estuarine Research was established to focus attention on estuarine environments. Our research studies have since covered the full range of topics in estuarine research, from the primary production of phytoplankton, benthic diatoms and saltmarshes, to the population dynamics, growth rates and feeding relationships of crustaceans, fish and birds. Special emphasis has been placed on the coupling between benthic and pelagic communities, and on the complex relationships between animals, plants and sediments. In addition to the science, the Centre is currently involved in many initiatives that link human interests with the scientific and academic community, particularly in addressing the consequences of change in coastal ecosystems. These include support for ACAP (Atlantic Coastal Action Program), the Bay of Fundy Ecosystem Partnership (BoFEP), the Canadian Water Network, and the Atlantic Environmental Science Network (AESN).

Dr. Faas was born in Appleton, Wisconsin on November 8, 1931, graduated with an AB degree in geology from Lawrence College in 1953, spent the next four years serving in the U. S. Coast Guard, followed by two years with the Topographic Branch of the U. S. Geological Survey. He returned to school in 1959 (Iowa State University) and received his Ph.D. in geology in 1964. His doctoral research was a paleoenvironmental study of a late Pleistocene sequence of estuarine and lagoon sediments of the Arctic Coastal Plain near Barrow, Alaska. After graduation in 1964, he became an Instructor in the geology department at Lafayette College, Easton, Pennsylvania, and remained there until his retirement in 1995 as Full Professor. His interest in the sedimentology of fine-grained sediments was enhanced by his proximity to New Jersey coastal lagoons and the Chesapeake Bay. He has subsequently performed research in the Schelde estuary in Belgium, the AMASSEDS project on the Amazon continental shelf, the ephemeral mud banks of the Kerala coast of India, the LISP project in Nova Scotia, and most recently, the CBBL special research project in the western Baltic Sea.
