Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
