Unveiling the Past: Cretaceous Extinction Insights with Robert DePalma

Explore the mysteries of the Cretaceous period as paleontologist Robert DePalma, Postgraduate researcher at the University of Manchester, takes the stage at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. On April 6, 2022, DePalma shared captivating findings from excavations in North Dakota, shedding light on the catastrophic asteroid strike off present-day Mexico that triggered the mass extinction of dinosaurs 66 million years ago. Delve into the scientific dialogue as DePalma's presentation sparks a lively question and answer session with NASA researchers Michelle Thaller, Jim Garvin, Christa Peters-Lidard, John Mather, and Gavin Schmidt, exploring potential connections to ongoing NASA research. Join us in this illuminating Goddard Scientific Colloquium as we bridge the gap between paleontology and space science. #CretaceousTalk #NASAResearchConnection #PaleontologyMeetsSpaceScience #CretaceousInsights
