This week, we will discuss a paper that reviews the geology of the largely submerged continent Zealandia and explains its significance. Understanding its geomorphological history is important for biogeographic studies on the emergent landmasses New Caledonia and New Zealand.

Mortimer, et al. 2017. Zealandia: Earth’s hidden continent. GSA Today. 27: 27–35.

Meet at 5:30pm in the Fellows Bar area (either Graduate Lounge or Forrest Room).

Coopers and Cladistics is a long-running evolutionary biology discussion group held every second Thursday at University House, ANU. Please contact Mike Crisp if you would like to be included on the C&C email list.
