PhD student in Geophysics at University of São Paulo, interested in numerical modelling of tectonic processes from rifting to continental collision. His PhD research goal is to understand how tectonic processes changed over geological time.

Animating the past using numerical modeling

Animating the past using numerical modeling

The human lifespan is too short compared to the geological time. To comprehend long-term phenomena, numerical modeling emerges as an imperative approach. But, there are several ways for visualizing the output of these models. Among these, animations stand out as a powerful tool, allowing us to watch the dynamic evolution of our planet over geological epochs like a movie. Our lives are too short co ...[Read More]
