2018 CIG Mantle Convection and Lithosphere Dynamics Workshop
ASPECT Tutorial
June 11 -13
CIG_02: An Introduction to Modeling Lithospheric Dynamics
UPDATED
This session will provide a tutorial and training for modeling mantle convection and lithospheric deformation using the state-of-the-art, CIG-supported code ASPECT. The tutorial is divided over three days in 1.5 hour afternoon blocks and will begins (day 1) with a general overview of relevant numerical methods, instructions on how to use ASPECT and best practices for modeling complex, non-linear solid Earth deformation. After the introduction, participants will complete a hands-on exercise that examines lithospheric extension. The second component (day 2) of the session will focus on the theory of modeling two-phase flow and a hands-on exercise for melt generation and migration during mid-ocean ridge spreading. The tutorial will conclude (day 3) with a discussion of ASPECT's capabilities and future development. Participants are strongly encouraged to come prepared with specific ideas for models they want to set up in ASPECT. No prior modeling experience is required and all interested student, faculty, professional research and industry attendees are encouraged to apply.
Capacity is limited to 25 on a first come, first serve basis for the hands on portion. We encourage other users to come to office hours (TBD) for help on their research problems.
