Mantle Dynamics, Isostasy, and Surface Topography | Dr. Peter Molnar @ PSU

Peter Molnar gives his unique, entertaining take on Dynamic Topography and its role (or lack of a role) in the creation of highlands across the globe. This was an invited talk at the Geology Department at Portland State University in the Fall of 2015. Title: Mantle Dynamics, Isostasy, and Surface Topography: What's in a name? That which we call "Dynamic Topography" by any other name (like isostasy) would stand as tall #tectonics #geology #geodynamics #earthscience #mountains #science #plateau #mantle #physics #seminar #academic
