Numerical Modelling
Numerical modelling has become an important tool in geosciences, as it allows for a limited representation of a geological process or system observed in reality. Due to our ability to observe the geological record is obviously limited, numerical modelling can provide us with valuable information to understand the geological process (or part of) or system and allow us to quantify it.
In the Geomodels Research Institute, numerical modelling is a research line and, more specifically, developing new computer programs that focus on:
-
•Process-based forward numerical modelling for clastic transport and sedimentation
-
•Carbonate modelling
-
•Mechanic and kinematic modelling of geological structures
Due to its importance, and that geological processes do not act individually, last research lines has been focused on modeling joint processes. In this regard, we are working on:
