3MT Monash finals -- Melanie Finch
Not all shear zones create mountains equally: The case of a 1km-thick, ant pulverising honey sandwich
Melanie Finch from the Faculty of Science explores the effect of shear zone intensity on mountain formation. What's the difference between mountains in Argentina and in the Himalayas? And what's that got to with a honey sandwich? Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is a competition that challenges research master's and PhD students to explain their research in plain language in just three minutes.
