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
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.
