Rifting model showing the viscosity. The top model has withing the dikes a maximum prescribed dilation of 1e-6, while the bottom model has no prescribed dilation. The orange contours are dikes, yellow contours "significant" melting fraction.

A work in progress movie of the coupling between ASPECT and openLEM. This has a rotating continent and a plume rising below it in ASPECT. the velocity field is than being pass to openLEM, which extracts the horizontal rotation and translation of t...

This movie shows a continental extension model where intrusion locations (white lines) are computed based on where and how much melt (red line) is generated. Each timestep is 20.000 years. The intrusions last one timestep and start at around 15Myr...

This is a movie of a Work in Progress model, which will be shown at my AGU presentation. It shows about 1.5Ma evolution of the Cascadia subduction zone and the development of Crystal Preferred Orientation (CPO). The model is not ready for actually...

This movie shows the development of CPO in a simple 3D subduction zone. The numbers on the figures are in meters. The figures on the left are the top view, while the right figures are a cross section. In each sub figure, the top image shows the ve...

CPO development in the mid ocean ridge/corner flow case at different model times. Each particle contains 1000 grains and has a mixture of 70% olivine and 30% enstatite. The bar orientation is the direction associated with the largest eigenvector o...
