According to Wikipedia, Gerard Viner Middleton FRSC , often known as Gerry Middleton, was a Canadian geologist and university teacher. Biography Middleton was born in South Africa and educated in England. He obtained his batchelors and doctorate degrees from Imperial College, London. He emigrated to Canada in 1954, and taught at McMaster University from 1955 to 1996. Over his career his main fields of research were physical sedimentology, data analysis in geology, and the history of geology. He published over 100 papers in scholarly journals, and several books, including Origin of Sedimentary Rocks , Mechanics in the Earth and Environmental Sciences , and Data Analysis in the Earth Sciences using MATLAB . He organized the SEPM Research Symposium on Sedimentary Structures in Toronto, and SEPM’s first Short Course . From 1973 to 1978 he was the founding editor of Geoscience Canada, a magazine published by the Geological Association of Canada.
