Oceanic plateaux from the Pacific reveal that oceanic plates may not be as strong as they were thought to be.
Check out our article "Syn-Drift Plate Tectonics" published in Geophysical Research Letters.

New research by a team of #UofT geoscientists is refining the century-old model of plate tectonics that holds that the plates covering the ocean floors are rigid as they move across the Earth’s mantle. 🌎 #UTSC utsc.utoronto.ca/news-events…

A great talk from @ErkanGun on extension in oceanic plateaux... A fine mix of geological data and numerical modelling.

New paper alert 🌍🌎🌏
A great little collaboration between @DurUniEarthSci @UTSC_DPES @McMasterSEES and @UofTEarthSci on the Nain Province in 🇨🇦
Have a read in Geology.

This coming Monday (9th Jan) I'll be chatting about my favourite subject - supercontinents!
I may or may not be wearing a "I♥️Pangea" t-shirt. Sign up to this excellent seminar series to find out!

As our students' trips come to a close, what's a better way to spend it than exploring a sunken city destroyed by an earthquake and was submerged through tectonic processes?

Congrats Erkan! And I'm excited to work with you as a post-doc in @UTSC_DPES*

Our very own Dr. Erkan Gün wasn't able to attend his convocation last week...
...so his students brought the convocation to him! Congratulations, Dr. Gün!

Hey #Geoscience Twitter, it’s nearly getting to that time of year - grad applications!
I'm looking to train interested in #MSc and #PhD students in geodynamic modelling and science communication.
If living in #Toronto excites you, email/DM and we can talk about an application!

I am visiting @durham_uni as the recipient of the Globalink Research Award of @MitacsCanada and @UKRI_News to conduct research on the enigmatic plate movement direction change of the Pacific plate. Meanwhile, enjoying lovely Durham! @uoft @UofTEarthSci @DurUniEarthSci
