SUMMARY:Shock and Impact Deformation: A Geological Perspective - Auriol Ra
 e\, Department of Earth Sciences\, University of Cambridge
DTSTART:20240222T150000Z

CONTACT:Stephen Walley
DESCRIPTION:Impacts have shaped our world and the Solar System. These coll
 isions gave birth to the Moon\, caused the extinction of the dinosaurs\, a
 nd delivered the essential ingredients for life on Earth. High-speed impac
 ts generate shock waves that suddenly subject materials to extreme pressur
 es and temperatures\, producing extreme deformation. In this talk\, I will
  discuss recent advancements—from observations\, experiments\, and shock
  physics modelling—in understanding the deformation of rocks under the e
 xtreme conditions of impact loading and the large-scale planetary conseque
 nces of that deformation.
