Projects
Reconstructing past lake conditions using sediment cores
Lake sediments can be analysed for the reconstruction of past environmental conditions, and past abundances of different species. These data are the first step in the creation of a simulation model which will investigate the dramatic fluctuations in environmental conditions in the East African Rift Valley soda lakes.
Self-Force and Black Hole Inspirals
Sam Dolan (Investigator)
We use IRIDIS to compute the self-force acting on a solar-mass black hole orbiting a supermassive black hole.
The application of automated pattern metrics to surface moisture influences on modelled dune field development
Robin Wilson, Joanna Nield (Investigators)
Areas of sand dunes (known as dunefields) develop complex patterns over time. These are influenced by both the past and present environmental conditions, including surface moisture, vegetation distribution and human impact. This project develops a method of automated pattern analysis which allow the patterns produced by a large number of sand dune evolution simulations (performed using the DECAL model) to be quantified over time.
Whisky Code
Ian Hawke (Investigator)
A 3D finite volume code for simulating compact relativistic hydrodynamics.
