Kenneth D. Card
Kanata, Ontario
"To Kenneth D. Card and K. Howard Poulsen for their outstanding paper Archean and Paleoproterozoic Geology and Metallogeny of the Southern Canadian Shield, published in Exploration and Mining Geology, Volume 7, number 3, 1998."
Ken Card obtained a B.Sc. degree in geology from Queen’s University and a Ph.D. from Princeton University. He was employed by the Ontario Department of Mines - Ontario Geological Survey, as resident geologist, Sudbury, and subsequently as a first field geologist and section head. In 1977, he joined the Geological Survey of Canada, working as a research scientist in the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield. In 1995, Mr. Card left the Survey and has worked part-time as a consultant on exploration projects in Canada, Brazil, Chile and Mongolia. He has published numerous geological reports, maps and journal papers covering a broad range of topics. His contributions to the Geological Map of Canada, the Tectonic Map of North America, and to knowledge of the geology and mineral deposits of a large part of the Canadian Shield are widely recognized, notably by the award of the Goldich Medal of the Institute on Lake Superior Geology in 1990.
