Dear colleagues,
We would like to bring the following session at EGU 2007 to your
attention and encourage you to submit an abstract:
**********************************************************************
TS 1.1 THE STRENGTHS AND CHALLENGES OF ANALOGUE AND NUMERICAL MODELS
(co-listed in GD)
EGU General Assembly in Vienna (Austria), 15-20 April 2007.
DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSION: 15 JANUARY 2007
Also note the deadline for pre-registration: 31 March 2007
**********************************************************************
Analogue and numerical modelling techniques are being utilised more
extensively in recent years to study processes in Earth's crust and
mantle. The modelling methods are partly overlapping and partly of a
complementary nature whereby both have their strengths and weaknesses.
Analogue, or physical, models have traditionally been strong in
visualising the mechanical behaviour of processes in 3D, but remain
limited in their ability to quantify observables or use more complicated
material rheologies. These can be better achieved by numerical models,
but their 3D resolution is only improving slowly. The aim of this
session is to focus on analogue and numerical models and provide room
for the discussion of their limitations, challenges and roles in the
near future.
We welcome contributions that discuss modelling and visualisation
techniques, use models to quantify Earth behaviour, compare analogue and
numerical model results to each other and/or to examples from nature, on
the scale of the crust to the mantle, for both 2D and 3D.
Keynote speakers:
Stephan Sobolev (GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam, Germany)
Bruno Vendeville (Lille University, France)
Convenors:
Susanne Buiter (NGU, Norway) and Guido Schreurs (University of Bern)
Information and guidelines regarding abstract format and submission are
available on the EGU General Assembly Web Site:
