    GeOx Lecture - Mountains in the Sea Talk.

    GeOx Lecture - Mountains in the Sea, Tuesday 17 June 2025 6.30-7.30pm
    a talk by Tony Watts


    One of the mysteries of the sea are the large number of seamounts that rise on the seabed and, in a few cases, break surface to form volcanic islands. They are widely scattered and are of geological interest because they record the motions and the mechanics of Earth's tectonic plates and the magmatic "pulse" of its deep interior.


    Professor Tony Watts is professor of Marine Geology and Geophysics in the Department Earth Sciences at Oxford University. He has participated in some 26 cruises of scientific research ships to the Pacific and other oceans.


    The talk will be in the Westwood Room of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PW, from 6.30 to 7.30 pm. No need to book and free to attend.
