Numerical modelling of geodynamic processes was predominantly the
domain of high-level mathematicians experienced in numerical and
computational techniques. Now, for the first time, students and new
researchers in the Earth Sciences can learn the basic theory and
applications from a single, accessible reference text. Assuming
only minimal prerequisite mathematical training (simple linear
algebra and derivatives) the author provides a solid grounding in
basic mathematical theory and techniques, including continuum
mechanics and partial differential equations, before introducing
key numerical and modelling methods. 8 well-documented,
state-of-the-art visco-elasto-plastic, 2-D models are then
presented, which allow robust modelling of key dynamic processes
such as subduction, lithospheric extension, collision, slab
break-off, intrusion emplacement, mantle convection and planetary
core formation. Incorporating 47 practical exercises and 67 MATLAB
examples (for which codes are available online at
www.cambridge.org/gerya), this textbook provides a user-friendly
introduction for graduate courses or self-study, encouraging
readers to experiment with geodynamic models.
