Many of the eggs were collected from remote rocky islands surrounded by some of the world’s roughest seas.</p> <p>In all, they collected 537 eggs from six species, including ancient murrelets, rhinoceros auklets and double-crested cormorants. Now these eggs are revealing new information about the way mercury finds its way into the ecosystem.</p> Fri, 24 Nov 2017 14:48:06 +0000 webfull 133046 at /channels /channels/channels/event/course-evaluations-matter-evaluate-your-courses-282559 <p>MERCURY Course Evaluations will be available to students until December 23 for units following the default period (or until December 7 for units <a href="/mercury/about/period">following the condensed period</a>).</p> Wed, 08 Nov 2017 19:01:03 +0000 webfull 132537 at /channels /channels/event/course-evaluations-matter-evaluate-your-courses-240288 <p><strong>Course Evaluation Period for the Faculty of Management:</strong> Wednesday, November 12 - Sunday, December 7</p> Thu, 20 Nov 2014 15:17:40 +0000 webfull 106677 at /channels /channels/news/mercury-course-evaluations-now-open-240526 <p>Course evaluations are now available for students to complete in Minerva.</p> <p><br /><strong>Default Period: </strong>Wednesday, November 12 - Sunday, December 21</p> <p></p> <p><strong>Condensed Period:</strong> Wednesday, November 12 - Sunday, December 7 (click <a href="/tls/node/298/#extended_period">here</a> to view units that are following the condensed period)</p> <p><br /><br /><br /></p> <h3><a href="https://horizon.mcgill.ca/pban1/twbkwbis.P_WWWLogin?ret_code=f"><strong>Students:</strong> access course evaluations in Minerva</a></h3> <p></p> Wed, 03 Dec 2014 14:57:29 +0000 webfull 106915 at /channels /channels/news/ariya-group-develops-green-method-recycle-mercury-264545 <p><em>Æ»¹ûÒùÔº researchers led by Professor Parisa A.
