Geology research out of Laurentian University has shed some new light on Sudbury's origins. The findings could translate into new explorations for mining companies. Laurentian professor Andy McDonald with the Harquail School of Earth Sciences has been recognized for a study he co-authored last year, that looked at breaks and fractures, known as offset dykes, in quartz. McDonald has been awarded this year's Hawley Medal in recognition of the research, which took a new look at the mineral.
