			==Education==
	Ganpat was born in a middle-class family in India as the eldest child with seven siblings. He received his initial bachelors and master’s degrees in geological/geophysical sciences at reputable universities in India and worked in the bush for eleven years. He subsequently came on a Commonwealth Scholarship to University of Toronto, Canada where he completed another master’s and a Ph.D. degree in 1977. During his studies/research, he developed and applied sphere and plate model applications to compare responses of various time and frequency domain electromagnetic (EM) systems for airborne, ground and borehole geophysical surveys, for mineral exploration available at that time. These models, with associated technical advancements, have been in routine use for exploration of mineralized targets at greater depths and with increased precision.

			==Early Career==
	Ganpat’s 12 years of work in Calgary oil patch involved applications of potential methods in evaluation and modelling of complex Alberta/ British Columbia foothill stratigraphy and structures. He was also involved in planning, organizing and supervising acquisition of new gravity and magnetic data involving the East Coast of Canada and parts of the Northwest Territories (NWT). Processing, modelling and interpretation of this data was useful in mapping the Jeanne D’Arc Basin off Newfoundland, gas structures off Nova Scotia and minor reefs in NWT.

			==Technical Committees Involvement==
	During his regular working career, Ganpat had organized and chaired various technical sessions for the Mineral, Geotechnical & Logging Society (MGLS) of the USA, Canadian Exploration Geophysical Society (KEGS), Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicist (CSEG), and Nuclear Fuel Waste Organization in Sweden. He gave keynote talks during some of the above technical societies’ annual conventions and was President of the MGLS (USA) for two years.

			==Association Activities==
	Ganpat has extensively volunteered for Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba (EngGeoMB) on its various committees, including the Awards Committee, Nomination Committee, Public Interest Review Committee and lately its Heritage Committee. He was instrumental in the initiation of the India Chapter of EngGeoMB in 2016. He continues to provide advisory support to this chapter. Ganpat has also served as the Council-appointed Director on the Geoscientists Canada Board for five years. As part of Geoscientists Canada and subsequently, Ganpat took the lead in organizing an introductory course at U of M on the role of qualified person for reporting resources of Mineral Prospects (NI43-101) and Hydrocarbon Prospects (NI51-101) during 2017. This was followed by conceiving and leading a four-talk earth science session titled, “Cultivating your career in the Oil & Gas and Mining Industries” during the EngGeoMB Ingenium-2020 video conference workshop.
