Geodynamics at Monash - Group members are interested in the interacting natural processes at work in the Earth and other solid planets which shape the planet at all length and timescales. We are a mix of structural geologists, computational modelers, mathematical geophysicists and plate reconstruction experts with a desire to figure out how the Earth formed and evolved, and what the Earth's long geological history can tell us about how the planet works today.

Geodynamics code development and application - we are leading the development effort for
UnderWorld a 3D, parallel, moving integration point finite element method designed for geodynamic modeling. The code is based around Snark / StGermain which are science-neutral frameworks developed through AuScope, in partnership with VPAC.
