Geology & Geography in Madagascar: modelling changes to Madagascar's landscape on a geological timescale.
Jonathan Paul of Trinity College, Cambridge University, is studying the evolution of the landscape and ecosystems in Madagascar. He will discuss modelling changes to Madagascar’s landscape on a geological timescale, and the physical evidence for these predictions in terms of rocks and fossils collected in Madagascar.
Erosion rates here are amongst the highest in the world and cannot be solely attributed to human activity such as deforestation. The island has undergone an unusually rapid and recent phase of uplift. That the island sits on top of a deep-seated mantle plume is becoming an increasingly convincing explanation, the effects of which are manifest at the surface as recent intense volcanism and broadly domal swell to the topography.
Please note: this lecture is part of a Madagascar-themed event incorporating three lectures, including a break for lunch (food provided). For details of the whole event, see http://www.facebook.com/events/299190820142296/
