George Hobson Memorial Award

George Hobson (1923-2015) was the second Director of the Polar Continental Shelf Project and a geophysicist specializing in seismic exploration. He conducted the first seismic surveys of the Sverdrup Basin, of Hudson Bay and parts of the Beaufort Sea. He worked in every Province and Territory in Canada. The Northern Scientific Training Program was fortunate to have Dr. Hobson serve on the Management Committee for 29 years. To honour his invaluable contribution to Arctic research and the NSTP, an award has been set up in his name.
