More than duodecillion cells have existed on Earth in its history, scientists estimate
Scientists have estimated how many cells have occupied Earth since the origin of life on the planet.
Peter Crockford
Assistant Professor, Earth Sciences, Carleton University
I am an assistant Professor at Carleton University in Ottawa Canada. My research explores the interactions of life and the surface environment over the course of Earth history. To do this I sample ancient rock formations and apply cutting edge geochemical techniques to explore this history. Before arriving at Carleton I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Harvard University and the Weizmann Institute of Science which I began after completing my PhD at McGill University.
