Title: PROBING EARTH'S SEAFLOOR TO UNDERSTAND SPACE: IMPACT CRATERS, PLUMES AND TRUE POLAR WANDER
Time and Date: 3pm, April 14, Friday
Location: EOA 1050

Abstract: The phrase "the final frontier" has been used to describe both Earth's seafloor as well as outer space.  Scientific exploration of each domain requires tremendous effort, but the former is far more accessible than the latter in terms of cost and resources.  As such, scientific ocean drilling, which enables sampling of Earth materials to depths of hundreds of meters to kilometers, presents an exciting avenue for studying processes that have taken place on multiple rocky worlds within our solar system at a scale that cannot currently be achieved with space missions.  In this talk, we discuss how scientific ocean drilling can teach us about fundamental planetary processes including impact cratering, plume volcanism, and true polar wander using paleomagnetic results from IODP-ICDP Expedition 364: Chicxulub Impact Crater and IODP Expedition 391: Walvis Ridge Hotspot.
