Prof. Carolina Lithgow-Bertelloni will be talking at the RAS lunchtime lectures on Wednesday 29 May 2013 from 13.00-14.00 on the subject: "Of how planetary interiors shape their outer surfaces".

Prof. Lithgow-Bertelloni will show in her talk how the interior of the Earth (and other terrestrial planets) is extremely dynamic, giving rise to large changes in topography that can even control biogeographic dispersal. She will compare Earth to other planets and spend a few minutes covering the data and modelling techniques used to study Earth's and other planetary interiors.
