The CAG and the Geography Community would like to offer their deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Dr. J Gordon Nelson. Dr. Nelson's obituary can be viewed here.
"Last month, Canada lost one of is most distinguished and honored geographers, Dr. J. Gordon Nelson, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of Waterloo, Canada. Dr. Nelson was an internationally respected and renown expert in the area of conservation and protected areas, having worked all over the world, and was a leader as advocate for parks and protected areas all over Canada during a professional academic career that spanned over decades. He also was a prolific scholar with hundreds of publications including dozens of peer reviewed publications and several major authored or edited books (many with students and colleagues as co-authors). In addition, during his academic career at University of Calgary, Western University and the University of Waterloo, Dr. Nelson advised and mentored dozens of graduate students-many of whom are today leaders in governmental agencies, NGOS or in academia continuing the legacy of his work."
Dr. Patrick Lawrence, University of Toledo

L'ACG et la communauté des géographes tiennent à exprimer leurs plus sincères sympathies à la famille, aux amis, et aux collègues du Dr J Gordon Nelson. La nécrologie du Dr Nelson peut être consultée ici (angl.).
« Le mois dernier, le Canada a perdu l'un de ses géographes les plus distingués et les plus honorés, Dr. J. Gordon Nelson, professeur émérite de l'Université de Waterloo, Canada. Dr. Nelson était un expert internationalement respecté et renommé dans le domaine de la conservation et des zones protégées, ayant travaillé dans le monde entier, et était un leader en tant que défenseur des parcs et des zones protégées dans tout le Canada au cours d'une carrière académique professionnelle qui s'est étendue sur plusieurs dizaines d'années. Il a également été un chercheur prolifique avec des centaines de publications, y compris des dizaines de publications évaluées par des pairs et plusieurs livres importants écrits ou édités (dont beaucoup avec des étudiants et des collègues en tant que coauteurs). De plus, au cours de sa carrière universitaire à l'université de Calgary, à l'université Western et à l'université de Waterloo, Dr Nelson a conseillé et encadré des dizaines d'étudiants de troisième cycle, dont beaucoup sont aujourd'hui des dirigeants d'agences gouvernementales, d'ONG ou d'universités, perpétuant ainsi l'héritage de son travail. »
Dr. Patrick Lawrence, Université de Toledo
