Earthbyte @ The University of Sydney presents:
|
|
| |
a 5-day International Postgraduate Course
|
|
| |
Through Tectonic and Geodynamic processes the Earth has evolved into a self-organized complex system of endogenic and exogenic envelops exchanging energy and matter. Without these processes the Earth would be a dead chondritic planet frozen in time. Recent advances in numerical methods, numerical codes, and high performance parallel computing provide geoscientists with the ability to model these processes; a task that was until recently reserved to a few computational laboratory in the world. Numerical Simulation of Lithospheric Processes is a 5-day international postgraduate course dedicated to an audience of geoscientists keen to develop a practical expertise in numerical modelling. |

Course Program -
•The course will be held at the University of Sydney from May 28th to June 1st 2007 and will include the following:
•Introduction to Unix •Principles of Geodynamics - Heat Transfer and Continental Geotherm •Deformation of Earth Materials and Rheology of the Continental Lithosphere •Design of Models in Ellipsis - Writing template and using Ellipsis GUI •Ground Trusthing of Models through Inversion of Geological Observables •Image Processing for Ellipsis graphic outputs •Modelling Continental extension, contraction and gravity driven processes •Modelling Mantle Processes |
|
| |
Course Audience - The course has been designed not only for postgraduate students in Geosciences, but also students in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry with a genuine curiosity for planet Earth. The participation of students from various disciplines will provide a dynamic learning environment. |
