On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The Moon is an archive of impact cratering in the Solar System throughout the past 4.5 billion years. All of the Moon’s large impact basins were formed between ~4.5 Ga and ~3.8 Ga, however, the duration and magnitude of basin-formation is still currently not well known and the lunar impact record is controversial. This talk will give an overview of the topic, and discuss how new chemical and mineralogical analysis of Apollo samples has provided insights to the types of impactors that were striking the Moon, and how the lunar meteorite sample collection is revealing about the timing of lunar impact events.
