A seismological journey to the centre of the Earth (Public Lecture)
28th June 2012 - 08:53
Professor Ed Garnero of Arizona State University, USA
A free public lecture: Tuesday July 3rd at 19:00
Rupert Beckett Lecture Theatre, University of Leeds.
Ed Garnero will lead us on a journey deep into the Earth to discover the complex inner workings of our planet. We will see massive continental-sized structures sitting atop the molten fluid iron core. These deep mega-blobs appear to possess Earth’s largest magmachambers, which may be the birthing place of plumes that result in large volcanoes at the surface. Our journey down will highlight adynamic and complex planetary interior that has profound implications for shaping Earth’s surface on which we live.
