Description The second edition of this popular introduction to numerical geodynamic modelling theory and applications features four new chapters. Based on the author's experience of teaching the material, and including practical exercises and MATLAB® examples, this user-friendly resource encourages students and researchers to experiment with geodynamic models.

Publisher Description

This hands-on introduction to numerical geodynamic modelling provides a solid grounding in the necessary mathematical theory and techniques, including continuum mechanics and partial differential equations, before introducing key numerical modelling methods and applications. Fully updated, this second edition includes four completely new chapters covering the most recent advances in modelling inertial processes, seismic cycles and fluid-solid interactions, and the development of adaptive mesh refinement algorithms. Many well-documented, state-of-the-art visco-elasto-plastic 2D models are presented, which allow robust modelling of key geodynamic processes. Requiring only minimal prerequisite mathematical training, and featuring over sixty practical exercises and ninety MATLAB® examples, this user-friendly resource encourages experimentation with geodynamic models. It is an ideal introduction for advanced courses and can be used as a self-study aid for graduates seeking to master geodynamic modelling for their own research projects.

Author Biography

Taras Gerya is Professor of Earth Sciences at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH-Zurich). He is an expert in numerical geodynamic modelling, with his current research focusing on subduction and collision processes, ridge-transform oceanic spreading patterns, intrusion emplacement into the crust, generation of earthquakes, fluid and melt transport in the lithosphere, Precambrian geodynamics, formation of terrestrial planets and evolution of life. In 2008, he was awarded the Golden Owl Prize by ETH students for his teaching on continuum mechanics and numerical modelling.
