GSA Annual Metting in Denver 2016: A Tectonic Shift in Cuban-American Relations

NEWS from GSA Annual metting Denver

1656-cubaBoulder, Colorado, USA: In 1961, the United States severed diplomatic ties with Cuba, a decision that led to myriad consequences, some entirely unanticipated. For the geoscience community, a precipitous drop in research collaboration occurred between Cuban and American scientists. The date was critical because, over the next 20 years, plate tectonics would revolutionize our understanding of Earth, and the geology of Cuba was realized to hold some critical constraints on interaction between the North American and Caribbean plates.
