Project Title

3D Numerical Models of Slab Subduction

Brief Description for General Publications

We plan to investigate slab subduction, roll-back and mantle induced flow using 3D numerical simulations. The code is Snark (see: http://www.mcc.monash.edu.au/twiki/view/Codes/SnarkCode) which is a 3D, parallel, particle in cell- finite element modeling environment for geodynamics (see: http://www.mcc.monash.edu.au/twiki/view/Codes/ UnderworldAppsWouter for a recent sample, low resolution sample).
