We congratulate Dr. Anders Damsgaard, who recently graduated from Aarhus University, Denmark, he is selected as the CSDMS Student Modeler of 2015. Damsgaard presents an outstanding modeling approach to granular flow and bed deformation, and applies the new technique to provide insights on glacier ice-bed interactions. Grain to grain dynamics and variation in meltwater pressure help explain stick and slip behavior of glaciers. Damsgaard will present on his findings at the upcoming 2016 CSDMS Meeting. More...

-A new study published in Nature Geoscience offers rare evidence to show that tectonic evolution drives abrupt river drainage captures, which then separate freshwater fish species that further evolve in isolation. CSDMS Geodynamics Working Chair, Phaedra Upton, used FLAC3D to demonstrate that six tectonic zones evolved with distinct river drainages on New Zealand’s South Island. These topographic reconstructions were then combined with analyses of the evolutionary tree of freshwater fish populations from each of the catchments, to show that the fish DNA sequences diverge synchronously with the growth of the mountains.
