The first boninites found in South America? At least they look great in the field - they are mostly submarine volcaniclastic deposits, and probaly unrelated to subduction initiation.
More info on the science in our Lithos paper (or send me a message): https://t.co/Ig3Srm0Xc0

Parts of Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland have been named amongst the world’s most important geological sites by UNESCO & international scientists. Siccar Point, Giant’s Causeway, Moine Thrust & Ynys Llanddwyn Mélange are all in the #first100geosites.

Volcanic Evolution of Panama –  this seminar by Dr. David Buchs @davidbuchs shows how volcanism could have contributed to the emergence of the area, and how it helped shape the modern landscape of the Isthmus.

Next GeoTalk on Wednesday 25 May at 5pm.
We'll dive into the reef to explore how coral scientists recover past environmental clues from long-lived corals, and why this information is important to understand how coral reefs will respond to future change.
