Carissimi Associati SGI,
Carissimi Soci Società Associate,
su indicazione del Prof. Rodolfo Carosi (Università di Torino e Presidente SGI) vi segnaliamo l'ultimo podcast di Geology Bites (Conversations about geology with researchers making key contributions to our understanding of the Earth and the Solar System):
Folarin Kolawole (Assistant Professor at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University) - Continental rifting.
Di seguito troverete il messaggio dell'ideatore, Oliver Strimpel, e il link al sito web di Geology Bites.
Cordiali saluti,
La Segreteria
Hello, listeners,
The latest episode is about continental rifting with Folarin Kolawole, Assistant Professor at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University.
I've always thought that the rifting of continents is a really counterintuitive notion. Continents are so thick, after all. But it turns out that they are not always that strong. After teasing out the various early stages of rifting with Folarin Kolawole and invoking plumes and far-field forces at opposite ends of the continental plates, the process makes more sense to me. Perhaps, after listening, it will for you too.
