Dedication: Dr. John F. Lewry (1939–1999; see Saskatchewan Geological Survey 1999) dedicated his career to investigations of the Saskatchewan–Manitoba segment of the Trans-Hudson Orogen (THO), one of the principal Paleoproterozoic orogens associated with the assembly of Laurentia. Indeed, one can make a strong case that Lithoprobe's Trans-Hudson Orogen Transect (THOT) was designed to test the tectonic models proposed by John Lewry. He delineated the distinct tectonic provinces in the western part of the THO, predicted the presence of an Archean craton trapped within the THO, and recognized and interpreted the significance of the Pelican Thrust between the juvenile Paleoproterozoic volcanic arc complex of the western Flin Flon Domain and the Archean craton, now called the Sask craton. The research published in Lewry and Stauffer (1990), and many of his ideas, provided the framework for the design of the THOT geophysical and geological studies. John Lewry was co-leader of the THOT until he passed away in 1999 after a battle with cancer. This Special Issue of the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences is dedicated to him.

The first Special Issue published by the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences in the field of planetary sciences consists of a collection of nine papers on astromaterials, planetary geology, and Earth-based analogues. We describe the milestones that led to the development of the planetary geology and geophysics (PG&G) community in Canada over the past 5 years, which culminated in record-breaking attendance at a special session of the 2011 GAC–MAC–SEG–SGA Joint Annual Meeting held in Ottawa. The idea of a Special Issue was met with enthusiasm by delegates from coast to coast. By connecting the fields of earth and planetary sciences, the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences pioneers a new vision for geoscience that expands the options available to Canadians who wish to publish their research at home.

This Special volume published by the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences consists of a collection of six papers on the petrology, geochemistry, and metallogeny of igneous rocks emplaced in large igneous provinces (LIPs). The papers provide a snapshot of results presented at a Special Session of the 2017 Geological Association of Canada – Mineral Association of Canada Joint Annual Meeting held in Kingston, Ontario, by members of the vibrant geoscience community dedicated to the study of LIPs. Participants applauded the idea of a joint session on these topics and as a result, the session fostered animated discussions and new collaborations. The scope of magmatic and metallogenic studies of LIPs often precludes the type of brainstorming that took place during the meeting. This Special volume demonstrates that a robust understanding of magmatic processes represents the essential first step towards the search for mineral deposits in LIPs worldwide.

The Appalachian Forelands and Platform NATMAP project in eastern Canada is a multi-discipline and multi-organization research endeavour aimed at the understanding of the evolution and architecture of the ancient continental margin of Laurentia. The Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences special issue presents some recent research progress for our knowledge of the Cambrian–Ordovician segment of that ancient margin.

This special issue of Canadian Journal of Sociology on ‘Contentious Mobilities’ showcases Canadian scholarship that investigates mobilities in the context of unequal power relations. Mobilities become contentious when they confront the systematic exclusion of others, advance unconventional mobile practices and defy or destabilize existing power relations. Increasingly, mobilities are contentious in relation to rapidly changing economies, societies and environments. This special issue stages an overdue encounter between the mobilities paradigm and research on sociopolitical contention. Simultaneously, this special issue addresses an empirical gap, featuring Canada as a prolific and influential site for leading-edge research. Five key themes emerge amongst the diverse papers in this issue: life and death, employment-related mobility, intersectionality/in(visibility), governance, and automobility. Further, we identify five potential topics for Canadian mobilities, including climate change, disaster, technology and travel, the good city and methods.
