Martin A. Peacock Medal to Don Francis T he Peacock Medal formerly t he Past Presidents Medal is the highest honor bestowed by MAC. This year it was awarded to Don Francis of McGill University Montreal C anada for his contribu tions to the elucidation of t he composition of Earth s upper mantle and for his u nique ability to integrate f ieldwork with mineralogy a nd geochemistry to solve significant problems in petrology. Don s research in petrology has not only impacted our thinking on mantle processes but it has also greatly enhanced our understanding of tectonics. In particular his novel study of mantle xenoliths in the Canadian Cordillera has shown that the character of xenoliths changes across major fault boundaries in the Cordillera suggesting that the faults are deeply rooted and that terranes in the Cordillera come complete with their lithospheric mantle. Don Francis was born in Montreal and grew up in the West Island where as a boy scout he developed a passion for the Canadian North reading tales of the early explorers. He completed an Honors BSc in geological sciences at McGill University in 1968 an MSc with Hugh Green at the University of British Columbia in 1971 followed by a PhD w ith Tom McGetchin at MIT. Don returned to McGill as a professor in 1974 and has remained there e
