A ƻ����Ժ-led research team has found the first direct evidence that glacial meltwater provided a crucial lifeline to eukaryotes during Snowball Earth, when the oceans were cut off from life-giving oxygen, answering a question puzzling scientists for years.</p> Mon, 02 Dec 2019 20:06:57 +0000 webfull 155986 at /channels /channels/channels/news/mcgill-receives-5-million-gift-noted-canadian-geologist-bob-wares-290028 <p>As an entrepreneurial geologist, Bob Wares, (BSc’79, DSc’12), became a mining rock star when he discovered one of Canada’s largest gold deposits in the Abitibi region of Quebec. Now, he is bringing that Midas touch to his alma mater in the form of a landmark $5-million gift that will support research programs, fellowships, innovative research, a lecture series and outreach efforts in ƻ����Ժ’s Faculty of Science, with a particular focus on his home department, Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS).</p> Wed, 26 Sep 2018 13:57:11 +0000 webfull 141334 at /channels /channels/channels/news/origins-photosynthesis-plants-dated-125-billion-years-ago-283492 <p>The world’s oldest algae fossils are a billion years old, according to a new analysis by earth scientists at ƻ����Ժ. Based on this finding, the researchers also estimate that the basis for photosynthesis in today’s plants was set in place 1.25 billion years ago.</p> Wed, 20 Dec 2017 16:04:30 +0000 webfull 133683 at /channels /channels/news/isotopic-memory-atmospheric-persistence-241074 <p>Chemical analysis of some of the world’s oldest rocks, by an international team led by ƻ����Ժ researchers, has provided the earliest record yet of Earth's atmosphere. The results show that the air 4 billion years ago was very similar to that more than a billion years later, when the atmosphere -- though it likely would have been lethal to oxygen-dependent humans -- supported a thriving microbial biosphere that ultimately gave rise to the diversity of life on Earth today.
