Department of Geology, Lakehead University, Thunder Bay, Ontario, P7B 5E1 Telephone (work): (807) 343-8220 Fax: (807) 346-7853 e-mail: sakissin@lakeheadu.ca Website Stephen Kissin has
worked in the field of meteoritics for more than 25 years, with
a body of published work on iron meteorites, as well as
enstatite chondrites. He has
participated in meteorites recovery projects including the
Arctic meteorites projects of 1981 and 1986, sponsored by MIAC’s
predecesor, the Associate Committee on Meteorites of the
National Research Council. He has
also worked on impact phenomena, with studies on fluid
inclusions in material from the Sudbury and Haughton structures. Recently, he has been investigating
the possibility of the presence of an ejecta layer from the
Sudbury event in the Thunder Bay area. |

Department of Philosophy, Talbot College, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, N6A 3K7. e-mail: hplotkin@uwo.caHoward Plotkin is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Western Ontario, where he taught the history of science for 36 years. His research and writings have centred on aspects of the history of meteoritics. For many years he collaborated with Roy S. Clarke, Jr., the Curator (now Curator Emeritus) of the U.S. National Collection of Meteorites at the Smithsonian Institution. He also has participated in several meteorite searches, with finds at Tagish Lake and Grimsby. He now divides his time between London, Ontario and Lake Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico. |

Tel (705)-653-5449 email: minlib@turnstone.ca Website: http://www.turnstone.ca GRAHAM WILSON is a geologist and mineralogist with diverse interests. Since 1985, Graham has operated a geological consulting firm, Turnstone Geological Services Limited. He has been a member of the Meteoritical Society since 1979, and formally associated with MIAC since 1996. His contributions to MIAC activities include a) authenticating actual or suspected meteorites, b) making detailed mineralogical and chemical classifications of new meteorites, including several Canadian examples reported since 1990, and c) keeping an eye on the voluminous literature of meteoritics. On a volunteer basis, he offers his opinion on suspected meteorites and provides public lectures to rock, mineral and fossil clubs from his home base in Campbellford, southeast Ontario. The Turnstone web site (see the "menu of meteorite topics") has more than two dozen descriptive, illustrated articles. |

Hildebrand is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geology and Geophysics of the University of Calgary where he holds a Canada Research Chair in Planetary Science. After graduating from the University of New Brunswick with a BSc. in Geology in 1977, he worked in the mineral exploration industry before turning to a research career. In 1992 he received a PhD. in Planetary Sciences from the University of Arizona. His current research is aimed at understanding the small body population (asteroids and comets) of the Solar System and its interaction with the planets. Aside from exploring the origin of the Solar System and the role of impacts in planetary evolution, these studies address the practical goals of the current impact hazard (and mitigation strategies), and delineation/characterization of the near-Earth population as potential resources. These goals are addressed through crater and impact ejecta research; investigating meteors and fireballs; recovering meteorites; performing physical characterization of meteorites; discovery, tracking and physical characterization of asteroids and comets; and by exploring what microsatellite technology can contribute to studying asteroids, comets and the Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos. |

Centre for Science, Athabasca University, 1 University Drive, Athabasca, Alberta, T9S 3A3 ph 780-434-1786 fax 780-675-6186 email: martinc@athabascau.ca Website Martin Connors is Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Space Science, Instrumentation, and Networking at Athabasca University. In the past he has worked on impact craters of Venus and Earth. Current planetary science activities include asteroids and in particular those in co-orbital motion including known horseshoe librators of Earth and the search for likely Trojan asteroids of Earth. His main activity is studying magnetic fields associated with auroral activity but the optical auroral research at the recently built Athabasca University Geophysical Observatory is bringing a larger amount of imaging work into play. A convergence between techniques for optical studies of aurora and of meteors, including bright fireballs, is being seen and should be promising for both fields. Digital imaging and computer techniques for image analysis are being applied and attempts made to exploit results from networks of instruments. |
