BiographyBorn in Lachute, Quebec, the son of Rev. Francis Coleman and Emmeline Maria Adams (a descendant of John Quincy Adams{{cn|date=March 2019}}), he received his Bachelor of Arts in 1876 and Master of Arts in 1880 from Victoria College in Cobourg, Ontario. He received a Ph.D. at the University of Breslau in 1881. Coleman joined the department of geology and natural history at Victoria College in 1882 as a Professor. From 1891 to 1901, he was a Professor of Geology at the School of Practical Science in Toronto. From 1893 to 1909, he was a geologist at the Bureau of Mines of the Government of Ontario. From 1901 to 1922, he was a Professor of Geology at the University of Toronto and was Dean of the Faculty of Arts from 1919 to 1922. From 1931 to 1934, he was a geologist with the Department of Mines of the Government of Ontario. In 1907, Coleman inferred a "lower Huronian ice age"[2][3] from analysis of a geological formation near Lake Huron. Coleman was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1900 and was its President in 1921. He was awarded the Murchison Medal of the Geological Society of London in 1910 and in 1928 was awarded the Royal Society of Canada's Flavelle Medal. In 1902, he was elected President of the Royal Canadian Institute and in 1910, he was made a Fellow of the Royal Society.[1] In 1915, he was President of the Geological Society of America.[4] In 1929, he was appointed Honorary Vice-President of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. He was author of:
He achieved the first ascent of Castle Mountain in 1884, and in 1907, he was the first white man to attempt to climb Mount Robson. He made a total of eight exploratory trips to the Canadian Rockies, wholly four of them looking for the mythical giants of Hooker and Brown. Coleman was awarded the Penrose Medal of The Geological Society of America in 1936.[5] His younger half-sister was poet Helena Coleman; the two shared a home in Toronto for much of their adult lives. LegacyMount Coleman and Coleman Glacier in Banff National Park are named in his honour.[6]Lake Coleman, a lake with a higher water level, in the same basin as Lake Ontario, is named in Coleman's memory. The lake, like Lake Iroquois and Lake Scarborough, is a product of the melting and drainage, of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. References1. ^1 {{Cite journal | last1 = Watts | first1 = W.
