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):

Claudio Faccenna (Helmholtz Center for Geosciences, GFZ, Potsdam and Department of Science at Roma Tre University) on the Dynamics of Subduction Zones

Di seguito troverete il messaggio dell'ideatore, Oliver Strimpel, e il link al  sito web di Geology Bites.

Cordiali saluti,

La Segreteria


Hello, listeners,

Subduction zones can be very long-lived, persisting for tens or even hundreds of millions of years. During that time, they rarely stay still, but instead retreat, advance, move laterally, or reverse direction. In the podcast, Claudio Faccenna discusses the processes that govern these movements. It turns out that they depend not only on the properties of the subducting slab, but also on the environment, including the proximity of other subduction zones.

Faccenna has been studying how convergent margins evolve for over 30 years, concentrating particularly on the Mediterranean region.  He is Head of the lithospheric dynamics section at the Helmholtz Center for Geosciences at GFZ in Potsdam in Germany and also a Professor at the Department of Science at Roma Tre University.

I hope you enjoy it!

Oliver
