This will be a space to showcase the scientific and political work progressing for the Salas y Gomez and Nazca ridges, and the science background for the Saya de Malha Bank in the Western Indian Ocean, and the Atlantic Fracture.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided after the panel and Q&A section concludes.
