OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Seeing into the heart of a planet: InSights from the Martian core
How big is the Martian core? What is its composition? How does it compare to Earth’s core? The Nasa-led InSight mission placed the first seismometer on the surface of Mars, collecting data for four years, allowing us to develop new answers to these important questions. In this seminar I will talk about how seismic data from Mars, together with research from mineral physics and cosmochemistry, have helped us to look deep into Mars’s core. The seminar will address how the first seismically-informed models of the whole planet were built, as well as their implications for our understanding of core composition and evolution.
