Student Modeler Award 2012
At the Annual Meeting CSDMS awarded its annual student modeler award to Dr. Surendra Adhikari for his modeling study of valley glaciers. Adhikari working with Prof Shawn Marshall at the University of Calgary, formulated a new hierarchy of dynamical models that describes distinct physical processes of deformational flow. Together these models provide an intuitive tool for studying the mechanics of glaciers and help to improve sea level rise estimates. More...

Xbeach is designed~~ to ~~model coastal changes under the influence of storms and hurricanes and helps assess coastal protection measures.~~ Dr. ~~van Dongeren, one~~ of the ~~core model developers~~, ~~successfully applied XBeach to investigate longwave dynamics at~~ a ~~remote fringing coral reef in West-Australia~~. ~~The simulations showed that on~~ the ~~reef platform 50%~~ of ~~the bed shear stresses originates from infragravity waves~~.
