Dear all,
We would like to inform you about a new comparison of analogue and
numerical model results that we are organising. The comparison builds on
previous model comparisons in which ten analogue modelling laboratories
and eight modelling codes participated (the results were discussed at
the GeoMod2004 conference and are published in Geological Society,
London, Special Publication 253). The aim of the new experiments is to
constrain and quantify the variability between analogue and numerical
models and to improve our understanding of causes of differences between
models.
We invite analogue laboratories and numerical modellers to participate
in the new comparison experiments. All details can be obtained from us
or found on www.geodynamics.no/benchmarks. Please let us know if you
will participate in the comparison experiments, so we can keep you
informed. Until now, eight analogue modelling laboratories and eight
different numerical codes have confirmed their participation (see
http://www.geodynamics.no/benchmarks/benchmark-annum2008.html)
We would like to discuss all results at the GeoMod2008 pre-conference
workshop on Sunday 21 September (www.geomod2008.org). Therefore, the
experiments should be finished, quantified and submitted to us by 1
September 2008.
With kind regards,
Susanne Buiter (numerical experiments, susanne.buiter(at)ngu.no)
Guido Schreurs (analogue experiments, schreurs(at)geo.unibe.ch)
