Modelling CPO evolution with D-Rex

Modelling CPO evolution with D-Rex

As a result of Earth’s mantle convection, rocks in the earth’s interior flow and develop a crystallographic texture. These textures reveal the planet’s thermal and tectonic history and are responsible for the viscous anisotropy, which can be used to study the planet’s deeper recesses that are not visible through other means. This necessitates the use of models that can pred ...[Read More]

The Sassy Scientist – Everything everywhere all at once

The Sassy Scientist – Everything everywhere all at once

Ever wondered how to manage a flurry of projects without losing your sanity? Maggie was curious if the Sassy Scientist could provide some insight into this. So she is asking: How do I manage to work on multiple projects at a time? Dear Maggie,   You simply DON’T. Let me debunk this “juggling a gazillion projects is the key to success in academia” myth faster than you can ima ...[Read More]

Physics-Based Machine Learning – Curse or Blessing?

Physics-Based Machine Learning – Curse or Blessing?

The advance of Artificial Intelligence is impacting all spheres of human activity, and Geosciences are no exception. In this week’s post, Denise Degen from RWTH Aachen University, Germany, gives us a glimpse of what this means for Geodynamics. Discussing the advantages and caveats of different approaches, she shows how physics-based Machine Learning may help us investigating and understanding comp ...[Read More]
