Geoscience NZ Hochstetter Lecture: the Shear Zones That Hold

In this talk, David Prior, Professor of Geology, University of Otago, will showcase the lateral thinking of using geophysical and geological methods to study the physics of ice, which is also highly relevant to our society as it informs ice sheet modelling and predictions for a warmer world.

This work will appeal to both professional scientists and the general public. It will include some entertaining examples of field work in Antarctica, the vital participation of students, and the need for scientific teamwork.
