2017 Introduction to the spectral-infinite-element method
04 Feb 2021 | Contributor(s): Hom Nath Gharti, Jeroen Tromp
The governing equations for the elastic-gravitational deformation of an Earth model involve a perturbed gravitational potential. The gravitational potential is governed by Poisson’s equation inside the Earth and by Laplace’s equation in the rest of space. The infinite domain...

2016 Software Practices in Computational Science Communities – an Overview
04 Feb 2021 | Contributor(s): Anshu Dubey
Scientific code developers typically adopt software processes derived from the mainstream (non-scientific) community when continuing without them becomes impractical. However, many software best practices need modification and/or customization, partly because the codes are used for...

2016 Resolution analysis by random probing
04 Feb 2021 | Contributor(s): Andreas Fichtner, Tristan van Leeuwen
We present a new method for resolution analysis in tomography, based on stochastic probing of the Hessian or resolution operators. Key properties of the method are (i) low algorithmic complexity and easy implementation, (ii) applicability to any tomographic technique, including full-waveform...

2016 Statistical and computational challenges of constraining greenhouse gas budgets
04 Feb 2021 | Contributor(s): Anna M. Michalak
Predicting future changes to the global carbon cycle (and therefore climate) and quantifying anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) both require an understanding of net GHGs emissions and uptake across a variety of spatial and temporal scales. This talk will explore some of the...

2016 Uncertainty Quantification in Computational Models of Physical Systems
04 Feb 2021 | Contributor(s): Habib Najm
Models of physical systems typically involve inputs/parameters that are determined from empirical measurements, and therefore exhibit a certain degree of uncertainty. Estimating the propagation of this uncertainty into computational model output predictions is crucial for purposes...
