New paper in Tectonics! This was the result of a visit by Professor Wengang He from the Zunyi Normal University to the @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social. We did some cool sandbox experiments with interesting results!

Dear geo-modellers,
There are only 6 days left to submit the abstract and register for the Lisbon GeoMOD 2025 meeting! We look forward to receiving you in Lisbon next September for a week of intense and exciting discussions on numerical and/or analogue geo-modelling.
See you all in Lisbon!

Olympus Mons was first sighted at the end of the 19th century by the astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli. In 1971, the Mariner 9 space probe confirmed that this elevation was a volcano.

Olympus Mons is thought to have begun forming over 2 billion years ago and may still be active. Its dimensions are due to the fact that the planet does not have plate tectonics, which means that this area of the planet's surface is stationary above a mantle plume that feeds the volcano.

To give you an idea of its dimensions, it is a volcano with the width of France and more than twice the height of Mount Everest.
