Dear CIG Community:
Please joins us this* Thursday, April 10 * at *2pm PT *for our next
webinar, *ASPECT Science Highlights*. The ASPECT Development group will
be giving us a peek into the ground breaking science in progress with
this advanced mantle convection code:
ASPECT, the Advanced Solver for Problems in Earth's ConvecTion, is a
finite element code to simulate problems in thermal convection in
both 2D and 3D models primarily focused on simulating processes in
the earth's mantle. The code is built on modern numerical methods
incorprating adaptive mesh refinement and linear and nonlinear
solvers. This webinar highlights the current scientific problems
being tackled by the team of scientists-developers who contribute to
this open source community code.
o Introduction/, Timo Heister, Clemson University/
o True polar wander in convecting planets, /Ian Rose, UC Berkeley/
o Kinematic subduction zones with nonlinear Rheology in
ASPECT, /Katrina Arredondo, UC Davis/
o Implications of vertical and lateral viscosity variations of
the mantle-lithosphere system in the Western Branch of the
East African Rift, /Sarah Stamps, MIT/
o Geodynamic modeling of eclogite-bearing mantle plumes using
ASPECT,/ Juliane Dannberg, GFZ/
