The next meeting of the Climate Journal Club will be held on Monday 7th March in room U1-10 at 11:30. Simone Pilia will talk about "Effects of subduction termination on the continental lithosphere – A geophysical extravaganza on northern Borneo"
Here the abstract of the talk:
What happens when subduction stops? A prime example where the effects of subduction termination can be studied is northern Borneo (Malaysia), where subduction ceased in the late Miocene and was followed by a puzzling tectonic response. I will present the results of the nBOSS passive-seismic experiment, used to illuminate the crust and upper mantle beneath northern Borneo. Results from the seismic analysis, coupled with structural geology information, have been integrated to constrain a new thermo-mechanical simulation that approximate the dynamic evolution of the post-subduction setting in northern Borneo.
A friendly reminder will be sent in the next days.
Looking forward to meeting you all,
the CJC team
