We are pleased to welcome Professor James Wookey for his Inaugural Lecture on: Between a Rock and a Hot Place - a view of the Earth’s Core-Mantle Boundary with seismology.
Abstract
The interface between the solid silicate mantle and the liquid iron core – nearly 3000km beneath our feet – hosts the most significant change in physical parameters in the solid Earth system, and has a profound effect on the surface at the longest timescales. In this talk I will introduce you this region, and our efforts to understand its structure and especially its dynamics with earthquake seismology.
Attendance is free, booking required via Eventbrite.
