NetherMod Day 3 – Karaoke fun!

Reporting live from the NetherMod karaoke bar,we summarise our experience with geodynamical karaoke (also see this post on the relationship between the two). Day 3 of NetherMod sizzled in a high of 29 °C, which meant the free afternoon just had to be that day. Of course, the day of the free afternoon had to round up with wine tasting and karaoke after dinner. How convenient that the wine tasting p ...[Read More]

NetherMod Day 2 – Secret Summary

NetherMod Day 2 – Secret Summary

The first science day at Nethermod was kicked of by the crust & lithosphere modelling session, followed by the first talk in the methodological advances session. Thibault Duretz discussed how using lithospheric heterogeneities can help to form complex rifting styles without using an explicit strain weakening formulation. Switching to the subduction evolution of the Farallon plate, Claire Curri ...[Read More]
