The CIG Webinar Series draws from a pool of experts from mathematicians, to computer scientists, and to geoscientists, among others to bring together a cross-cutting community of faculty, students and researchers to both inform and disseminate knowledge on the tools and methodologies employed to further the study of problems in geodynamics.

The one hour webinars will be held the 2nd Thursday of each month October through May. Webinars will be recorded for later viewing. Reminders and details will be sent out through the CIG forum Announcement category.

The path to model interoperability in geodynamics

Many grand challenge problems in the geosciences require the integration of knowledge across multiple disciplines – examples include coupling erosion models to weather and climate models to describe where erosion actually happens, erosion models to tectonic models to understand the specifics of mountain belt formation, or mantle convection to geodynamo models to understand the long-term evolution of a planet’s magnetic field. However, historically, codes have rarely been integrated across sub-disciplines. This is because interoperability between computational models is difficult, because data and their formats are often not standardized, and because the numerical and computational methods employed in different codes are frequently different and incompatible.

This webinar series provides a survey of current efforts to understand the relationship between different systems in geosciences. By presenting examples of coupled geodynamics models and the difficulties encountered in coupling them, speakers of this series invite us into exploration and discussions of the science opportunities and challenges in code coupling and multidisciplinary research. 

Questions for speakers:

• What physical systems are you addressing? What are the science and opportunities in coupling these processes?

• What challenges did you encounter coupling different processes? Are the physics of the processes compatible? What were the computational and numerical challenges?
