The Neogene period has been characterized by an overall geodynamic regime of subduction, where primary roll-back of the subducted slab and secondary phenomena, like slab break-off and the development of slab windows, could have contributed to the evolution, location and type of volcanic activity.
Although it was disappointing that the tools designed to anchor the lander to the comet did not function as designed, the mission is still likely to achieve most if not all of its objectives, providing important new information on how comets have contributed to the evolution of the solar system.
