个人简介
Dr. Jan Veizer is a �Distinguished University Professor� of Geology at the University of Ottawa (Emeritus since April 2004) where he held the NSERC/Noranda/CIAR Research Chair in Earth Systems, and, from 1992 to 2004, concurrently served as the Director of the �Earth System Evolution Program� of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIAR). He recently retired also from the Chair of Sedimentary and Isotope Geology at Ruhr University in Bochum, Germany. He has drawn on the principles of geology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and biology to paint a picture of the Earth as a dynamic, �living� entity. This complex and innovative framework may afford us a glimpse of the future of our planet and help us to understand the impact mankind has had.
He received his formal education in his native Slovakia (then Czechoslovakia) that culminated with doctorates in sedimentology and structural geology at Comenius University and the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava. Subsequently, turning his interest to geochemistry, he went to Australian National University where he obtained a Ph.D. in isotope geology in 1971. After short teaching and research stints at the University of California in Los Angeles, and the Universities of G�ttingen and T�bingen, he arrived in 1973 at the University of Ottawa, his family base ever since.
Dr. Veizer has received numerous prestigious awards, including the Killam Award (Canada Council, 1986), the Past President Medal (Geological Association of Canada, 1987), the Willet G. Miller Medal (Royal Society of Canada, 1991), the G.W. Leibniz Prize, the highest award of the German Research Foundation (1992), the Logan Medal, the most prestigious honour granted by the Geological Association of Canada (1995), the Bancroft Medal (Royal Society of Canada, 2000) and the Gold Medal (Slovak Geological Survey). In 1986, he was elected to the Royal Society of Canada.
In his latest research he has concentrated on two fundamental issues:
� the isotopic evolution of past sea water as a proxy signal for the past state of planetary surficial environments, and
� the environmental issues of large riverine ecosystems, particularly the nature of the riverine carbon cycle and climate.
