Abstract
<div>As a planet without plate tectonics, Mars has a fundamentally different setting to Earth, and yet we observe many familiar structural features at the surface. Mars is also home to the largest volcanoes in the Solar System, which are the spectacular surface expressions of an enormous, long-lived magmatic system underlying the region known as Tharsis. The many surface structures in the Tharsis region are an important record of the geologic and volcanic history of Mars. They can provide insight into the timing and nature of volcanic systems, which is important to investigations of past climate and potential habitability. This talk will explore how volcanism has driven formation of the structures we see on the surface of Mars and how this can help us answer important questions about the evolution of the red planet. The work presented is based on Dr Claire Orlov's PhD research conducted at the University of Leeds, UK. </div>
