YouTube video by Dr. Luke Daly
As we have already advised, Dr. Luke Daly is unable to give the lecture that was planned for 24th November 2022. We hope Dr. Daly will be able to visit us again in the not too distant future but meantime to whet your appetite here is a YouTube talk he gave on the subject "The geological history of a Martian volcano".
