Dr. Robert H. Rainbird has had a publication in Scientia that stems from his NSERC Discovery Grant-funded support of 2 students in the Department-PhD student, Nabil Shawwa, and MSc student, Thomas McLoughlin-Coleman, co-supervised by Dr. James Mungall.
Dr. Rainbird's publication is entitled: Searching for Primary Evidence of Early Earth's Atmospheric Evolution
