Early life and educationBorn on 28 May 1927 in Hamilton, Ontario, Wagner was the daughter of Muriel (née Konkle) and Harold Wagner. She had one younger brother, David, with whom she spent many hours of her youth exploring the flora, fauna and geology of the Canadian Shield around her family's Muskoka vacation cottage on Mary Lake.[3][1] In addition to exploration of the natural environment, Wagner's love of the outdoors also meant she became an accomplished canoeist, long distance swimmer, and horsewoman.[3] Wagner graduated with a BA degree from the University of Toronto in 1948, having specialized in paleontology, and remained at the same institution to complete an MA in invertebrate paleontology in 1950.[3] Her research work for this higher degree focused on the stratigraphy and fauna of an Ordovician limestone sequence within a small quarry to the northeast of Ottawa.[3] During the middle summer of her MA studies, in 1949, Wagner was employed by the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) to catalogue samples at the Victoria Museum in Ottawa, and she began work full-time with the GSC on her 23rd birthday in May 1950.[3] After a year in the field, she went to Stanford University where she earned her doctorate in Pleistocene paleontology[3]. Her PhD, completed in 1954, focused on micropaleontology[3]. Research careerAt the time of her hiring by the GSC, Wagner was one of only three female research scientists working within the survey, alongside fellow paleontologist Alice Wilson, and sedimentologist and oil field geologist Helen Belyea; Wilson was instrumental in bringing Wagner into the organization.[3] Personal lifeFrances Wagner died at the age of 89, on 8 November 2016 in Falmouth, Nova Scotia.[4] References1. ^1 {{Cite web|title= Frances Wagner |url= http://www.science.ca/scientists/scientistprofile.php?pID=471 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20180510195803/http://www.science.ca/scientists/scientistprofile.php?pID=471&-lang=en |archive-date= 10 May 2018 |access-date= 10 May 2018 |dead-url= no |website= Science.ca |publisher= GCS Research Society }} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Wagner, Frances}}2. ^{{Cite web|title= Five Canadian women trailblazers in science |first= Amely |last= Coulombe |website= Canadian Geographic |publisher= Royal Canadian Geographical Society |date= 8 March 2016 |url= https://www.canadiangeographic.ca/article/five-canadian-women-trailblazers-science |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20180510195944/https://www.canadiangeographic.ca/article/five-canadian-women-trailblazers-science |dead-url= no |archive-date= 10 March 2018 |access-date= 10 March 2018 }} 3. ^{{Cite thesis|last= Wagner |first= Frances J.E. |date= 1950 |title= Stratigraphy, palaeontology, and structure involved in a section on the Rockcliffe airport road, Ottawa. |type= MA |publisher= University of Toronto }} 4. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{Cite web|first= Bill |last= Atkinson |title= Dr. Frances Wagner: Adventurous micropaleontologist flouted convention |date= 7 December 2016 |url= https://www.theglobeandmail.com/technology/science/dr-frances-wagner-adventurous-micropaleontologist-flouted-convention/article33250538/ |website= The Globe and Mail |publisher= The Globe and Mail Inc. |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20180510201037/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/technology/science/dr-frances-wagner-adventurous-micropaleontologist-flouted-convention/article33250538/ |archive-date= 10 May 2018 |dead-url= no |access-date= 10 May 2018 }} 13 : 1927 births|2016 deaths|Canadian geologists|Canadian paleontologists|Geological Survey of Canada personnel|20th-century women scientists|Canadian women geologists|Women paleontologists|People from Hamilton, Ontario|Canadian women scientists|Paleontology in Ontario|University of Toronto alumni|Stanford University alumni |
