News of Former Students1960’s and 70’sAndrew Hynes B.Sc. 1969Andrew Hynes graduated from the MPC ‘Physics andGeology’ program in 1969. This program required constantshuffling between the Physics department and the Geologydepartment, then in the Mining Building. He then went tothe University of Cambridge, to work on the petrologicaland structural setting of one of the Greek ophiolite complexes.These were the early days of the application ofplate tectonics to geology, and he recalls that it was onlyduring his time at Cambridge that the first analyses of midocean-ridgebasalts became available. How times havechanged!Following his sojourn at Cambridge, Andrew spent a yeardoing regional mapping with the Geological Survey ofZambia before returning to Toronto, where he spent a yearat Erindale College working on a set of Earth-science filmswith Tuzo Wilson and pinch-hitting for some of the teachingrequirements there, and a year at the St-George campusas a sabbatical replacement for Steve Kesler. At the time,the department had a distinctly Australian flavour, due tothe several Aussies that had come over to U of T throughthe Tony Naldrett connection. He obtained an AssistantProfessor position at McGill University in 1975.With the exception of sabbatical leaves, Andrew has spenthis career at McGill, rising through the ranks to a FullProfessor, and heading the department from 1987 to 1991.He has worked primarily on problems of Precambriantectonics. He worked for several years in the Grenvilleorogen of eastern Quebec, groundtruthing the seismic datawith structural studies along the Manicouagan Reservoir.He was co-transect leader for the Aibitibi-Grenville Tran-Ed Spooner with alumni Catherine Beckett (B.Sc.8T5), MartynBeckett (B.Sc. 8T4, M.Sc.8T7) and Dennis Waddington (B.Sc.7T0, M.Sc.7T3)sect during its later stages, and oversaw the synthesis ofthe results from this transect. More recently, he has beeninvolved with interpretation of the Lithoprobe sections inthe Western Superior region. As well as field-based studies,Andrew has worked on theoretical aspects of plate tectonics,including causes for back-arc spreading, the dynamicsof extrusion of high-pressure rocks and the effect of awarmer mantle on Precambrian tectonic processes. He hasfound the combination of physics and geology in his backgroundinvaluable, although it has resulted in rather eclecticresearch activities.Roger Hewins Ph.D. 1971 (Naldrett group).Although still officially employed by Rutgers Universitywhere he has spent most of his career, Roger now lives inParis, France for much of the year where he is continuinghis research on meteorites. He has active contacts withseveral of his Toronto contemporaries.Ted DillonB.A.S. 1974 U of TM.Sc. 1976 U of TMBA 1989 U of TPatricia DillonB.Sc. 1974 U of TB.Ed. 1976 U of T13Steve Kissin and Roger HewinsTed and Pat moved into a small downtown condo in Vancouverin April 2007 leaving behind their home of 20 yearsin Oakville, Ontario and their 2 daughters who are both infourth year university in Ontario.
