For the spring of 2017 we'll discuss divergent plate margins, including the formation of rifts, their propagation, and their evolution. Seminars will take place at 12-14 in room D501 of the Exactum. You may also want to see more information about the general format of the seminar. A tentative schedule of readings is below. Date | Discussion leader(s) | Topic and papers | Paper rating |
