"Formation of the lunar fossil bulges and its implication for the early Earth and Moon"
First recognized by Laplace over two centuries ago, the lunar gravitational anomalies associated with tidal-rotational bulges are significantly larger than hydrostatic values. They are likely relics of a former hydrostatic state when the Moon was closer to the Earth and had larger bulges, and they were established when stresses in a thickening lunar lithosphere could maintain the bulges against hydrostatic...
Speakers: Rachel Silvern and Taylor Jones. Rachel and Taylor will report on the recent EPS graduate student field trip through Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons in Wyoming.
Lunch will be provided. As always, please plan to bring reusable plates and cutlery to reduce waste.
Join Rachel Silvern, Emma Bertran and Jenan Kharbush who will introduce Diversity in Earth Sciences, a group which aims to create a series of events promoting work by women and minorities and provide a forum for discussing and addressing challenges underrepresented groups face in the earth sciences. They plan to discuss the group's mission and ideas for the upcoming year. All EPS and ESE undergrads, graduate students, postdocs and faculty are welcome and encouraged to attend and be a part of the discussion.
