Seawater plays role in gold formation /research/channels/news/treasures-beneath-ocean-floor-seawater-plays-role-gold-formation-357840 <p>Understanding how gold forms is crucial for knowing where to find it and how to extract it sustainably. McGill researchers have answered a long-standing question in geology that could lead to new ore discoveries.</p> Wed, 03 Jul 2024 14:03:05 +0000 admin 10026 at /research New Type of Earthquake Discovered /research/channels/news/new-type-earthquake-discovered-335376 <p><strong>International team including McGill researchers has discovered a new type of seismic event. The existence of these hydraulic fracturing-induced earthquakes supports a scientific theory that until now had not been sufficiently substantiated by measurements.</strong></p> Wed, 11 Oct 2023 15:33:06 +0000 megan.liley@mcgill.ca 1304 at /research McGill CRCs awarded in the 2020-2022 Cycle and NFRF-Transformation Results /research/channels/news/mcgill-crcs-awarded-2020-2022-cycle-and-nfrf-transformation-results-336153 <p>On January 12, the Federal Government announced more than $295 million for science, research, and engineering in Canada through the Canada Research Chairs (CRC) 2020-2 cycle, the New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF) 2020 Transformation results, and the Tri-agency Scholarships and Fellowships.</p> <p>Read the full story on the McGill Newsroom or the McGill Reporter.</p> <p>Below is a list of all CRCs awarded in the 2020-2022 Cycle and McGill Co-PIs and Collaborators NFRF-T 2021-2027:</p> Wed, 11 Oct 2023 15:33:06 +0000 megan.liley@mcgill.ca 1308 at /research Alfonso Mucci awarded Royal Society of Canada’s Miller Medal /research/article/alfonso-mucci-awarded-royal-society-canadas-miller-medal <p>The Royal Society of Canada (RSC) has today announced the award of the 2020 Willet G.
