With the EGU General Assembly (GA) less than a month away, attendees should start planning their schedules to get the most out of the week. In today’s blog, Geodynamics (GD) Division Early Career Scientist (ECS) representative Garima Shukla highlights the GD Division’s networking events and provides an overview of key events at the GA. Networking Events: Geodynamics Division What: ECS ...[Read More]
Hello fellow geodynamicists and geoscientists! Many exciting congresses and workshops are taking place this year. You might be going to some of them, so it’s definitely time to start planning your schedule. Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Here we collect events that might be of interest to you, with a focus on geodynamics and tectonics, listed by chronological order. So open y ...[Read More]
Subduction zones are dynamic regions where intense geological processes like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the recycling of oceanic crust are constantly at play. A key factor that influences the behavior of these zones is *interface rheology*—the strength and viscosity of the boundary (the interface) between the subducting and overriding plates. Understanding this interface is crucial for i ...[Read More]
Geodynamic modelling helps us understand Earth’s internal processes by providing a framework to test hypotheses. Analogue modelling uses physical models governed by the laws of nature, with resolution down to Planck’s length. In contrast, numerical modelling employs mathematical methods to approximate solutions to the physical laws governing Earth’s processes. Each modelling approach comes with it ...[Read More]
