Mantle convection and generation of plate tectonics

This project is ongoing.

A range of numerical modeling of mantle convection projects focused on the long-term evolution of terrestrial planets including the formation and evolution of plate boundaries. In particular, we study the role of damage memory on plate boundary evolution.

I'M INTERESTED IN THIS PROJECT. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

The Office of Undergraduate Research recommends that you attend an info session or advising before contacting faculty members or project contacts about research opportunities. We'll cover the steps to get involved, tips for contacting faculty, funding possibilities, and options for course credit. Once you have attended an Office of Undergraduate Research info session or spoken to an advisor, you can use the "Who to contact" details for this project to get in touch with the project leader and express your interest in getting involved.
