Written as both a textbook and a handy reference, this text
deliberately avoids complex mathematics assuming only basic
familiarity with geodynamic theory and calculus. Here, the authors
have brought together the key numerical techniques for geodynamic
modeling, demonstrations of how to solve problems including
lithospheric deformation, mantle convection and the geodynamo.
Building from a discussion of the fundamental principles of
mathematical and numerical modeling, the text moves into critical
examinations of each of the different techniques before concluding
with a detailed analysis of specific geodynamic applications. Key
differences between methods and their respective limitations are
also discussed - showing readers when and how to apply a particular
method in order to produce the most accurate results. This is an
essential text for advanced courses on numerical and computational
modeling in geodynamics and geophysics, and an invaluable resource
for researchers looking to master cutting-edge techniques. Links to
supplementary computer codes are available online.
