If you're interested in numerical modelling of orogens then check out my thesis: figshare.com/articles/thesis… I plan to post a summary soon™️

Great talk by @alanis_ob. Cool looking rocks that have been subducted and exhumed due to return flow in the subduction channel.

We've been using the @underworldcode solid Earth modelling code to look at very large scale groundwater flow in Australia. pid.geoscience.gov.au/datase… @underworldcode complements specialised groundwater modeling software because we can ask "big" questions ...

Awesome work Saskia! 🔥
Oliver Nebel@OliverNebel12 Oct 2021
Have a look at Fe isotopes in alkaline vs tholeiitic lavas at the Tasmantid mantle plume. Saskia's first PhD paper. Congratulations Saskia! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

My first two PT pseudosections, with the aim of integrating the thermodynamic model data into @underworldcode (hopefully soon)
P-T pseudosection and corresponding density for an upper mantle mineralogy

ALT P-T pseudosection and corresponding density for an upper mantle mineralogy

P-T pseudosection and corresponding density for a pelite mineralogy

Keen for any feedback on the pseudosections and thermodynamic modelling in general as I haven't done any before! Thanks to @RibeiroBrunov for showing me the ropes
Always happy to help with coding 🤓
Angus Rogers🌋@HeavyMetalAngus1 Oct 2021
I'm a #python beginner, and have been lucky enough to get some coding tips from Dr. Erin and @CloseToTheWedge - this challenge would have been that much harder without the support of awesome researchers like them!
