Computational Geoscience

• The evolution of geological basins (i.e., coupled heat transfer and fluid flow in deformable porous media). Collaboration with the Department of Geology, University of Oslo, and Norsk Hydro.

• Modeling of mountains as a highly viscous, moving fluid. Research collaboration with the University of Alabama.

• Large flood waves in the Pacific generated by slides or earthquakes. Main application for our parallel multi-physics simulation framework. Collaboration with the Department of Mathematics, University of Oslo.

• Hindcast of large flood waves generated by the impact of the earth and astroides. Project proposal with the Department of Geology, University of Oslo, the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI), and the Department of Mathematics, University of Oslo.

• Coupling of micro-physics descriptions and continuum mechanics. Part of a proposal for a Center of Excellence: Physical Processes in Geology. Collaboration with the Departments of Geology and Physics, University of Oslo.
