Eric Walter Mountjoy PhD FRSC (1931 – 18 June 2010)[1] was a Canadian geologist, who spent much of his career as a professor at McGill University.
He was a foremost expert on sedimentology, Devonian reefs, carbonate diagenesis, porosity development and the structure of the Rocky Mountains.
At the time of his death (2010), he was professor emeritus in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, McGill University.
This work produced cross-sections, which have become classic representations of the structure of a thrust-fold mountain belt and have been published in many textbooks.
In his memory, in 2014 the Geological Association of Canada instituted the Eric Mountjoy Exchange Award.
