Quantitative modelling of geological processes (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

Geological processes are fundamental in shaping the Earth's landscape and have garnered increased attention due to their social and economic implications. This volume presents a collection of contributions from the GeoMod2008 conference, focusing on advances in analogue and numerical modelling techniques to better understand geological phenomena. It encompasses four key areas: rheology and mechanics of deformation, plate-scale geodynamic processes, crustal-scale processes, and surface processes, showcasing the significance of improved modelling approaches in elucidating the complexities of geological evolution.
