Andrew McDonald’s paper honoured for being the best to appear in scholarly journal
Andrew McDonald, a professor at the Harquail School of Earth Sciences at Laurentian University, is celebrating his fourth Hawley Medal, this time co-authoring with Laurentian alumnus Christopher Beckett-Brown, and Beth McClenaghan from the Geological Survey of Canada.
Although McDonald previously received three Hawley medals, when he got a call from the Mineralogical Association of Canada, he was not expecting it to be about an award. Beckett-Brown was curious about tourmaline’s importance in porphyry systems as a potential indicator for the presence of copper , molybdenum , and gold deposits. In his PhD thesis, he explains that mineral exploration for porphyry Cu-Mo-Au deposits is challenging and that locating deposits buried in the Earth’s crust is necessary .
