Emeritus Curator
Professor George E. Ball, a faculty member at the University of Alberta since 1954, and member of the Department of Biological Sciences, passed away on January 12, 2019 at the age of 92.
George was an entomologist with a particular passion for ground beetles and a professor at the University of Alberta for 38 years, including 10 years as Chairman of the Department of Entomology. He was a graduate advisor to many students over the years, leaving a legacy of highly skilled biologists as well as a large body of research. After retiring in 1992, he continued his work as a world renowned taxonomist and was Emeritus Curator of the E.H. Strickland Entomological Museum at the time of his passing.
