Professor Nick Eyles.

He started his career in Great Britain at the universities of Leicester, Newcastle upon Tyne and East and moved to Canada to work at Memorial University in Newfoundland. He’s been in Toronto since 1981 when he was awarded a prestigious NSERC University Research Fellowship. 

He’s conducted geological fieldwork from the Arctic to the Antarctic, including work with the Ocean Drilling Program onboard the drillship Resolution.  Recent sabbaticals have taken him to Brazil and Australia.

Dr. Eyles is a good professor. At the beginning of the semester, I found it pretty hard to follow his teaching style but as soon as I thought of the lectures simply as a 'geological journey', each of them became quiet interesting and making sense. 

He has an exceptional and so-called British humor. He often leaves punch lines (mix of sarcasm and satire) during a lecture, with his evident English accent, and they always cracks me up; the jokes often remind me of Jeremy Clarkson from my favourite BBC series, Top Gear.

He is always interested in listening to an individual student and passionate of what he teaches. He is also as passionate on motocycles and often put the photos on lecture slides. There are somethings about him that I definitely want to learn.
