Dr Matthew Agius, a researcher from the Seismic Monitoring and Research Group within the Department of Geosciences, gave a seminar at Istanbul Technical University (İTÜ) on 25 November 2022.
The talk entitled "The mantle transition zone beneath Hawaii and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge: areas of mantle upwelling" was presented at the Seismology-Seismotectonic-Geodynamics Laboratory, Faculty of Mines, headed by Prof. Tuncay Taymaz.
The presentation was about Agius' recent publications about Earth's mantle dynamics and hot spots. Discussion followed on how to strengthen the collaboration between the two research groups, particularly following the ongoing collaboration with Assoc. Prof. Tuna Eken and doctorate student Ceyhun Erman supervised by Prof. Seda Yolsal-Çevikbilen.
