FREE REGISTRATION!, which includes morning tea and lunch. Places are limited! Registrations close Wednesday 3 June 2009.

The Underworld Grid Workshop will introduce potential, new and current users of Underworld to submitting Underworld models to computer clusters across the ARCS Grid, using the Grid submission client Grisu graphical user interface. Participants will learn how to submit existing Underworld model files to a computer cluster, using a select range of Underworld's modelling capabilities, and view and retrieve their results.

Underworld is a 3D-parallel geodynamic modelling framework capable of deriving viscous / viscoplastic thermal, chemical and thermochemical models consistent with tectonic processes, such as mantle convection and lithospheric deformation over long time scales. Underworld is under collaborative development by Monash University and the VPAC, as part of the NCRIS AuScope capabilty in the Simulation and Modelling Victoria program.
