Introduction |

At the 1997 annual meeting of the GAC–MAC in Ottawa, a two and a half day carbonatite symposium was held in honour of John Gittins, who recently retired from the Geology Department at the University of Toronto. John, long associated with carbonatites, was co-editor with Frank Tuttle of Carbonatites, a book which provided a comprehensive and detailed summary of carbonatite research up to 1966 (Tuttle & Gittins, 1966
). During his research career John studied a number of diverse problems pertaining to carbonatites, especially those involving mineralogical and phase equilibrium studies. His uncanny knack of homing in on some of the fundamental problems associated with carbonatite petrogenesis led to the publication of a number of stimulating papers. John is one of those rare individuals who can integrate both field and experimental studies. The paper he co-authored with Cooper and Tuttle on the calcium–alkali carbonate ternary system was one of |
