I have been working on coupling the numeri … I have been working on coupling the numerical models of long term tectonics (LTM) with short term surface processes. I have used SNAC (LTM code) to run the long term simulations and then used CHILD ( Landscape evolution code ) to model the surface processes associated with it. I remained involved in the development of coupling these two codes under Basic Model Interface (BMI). I also worked on Fastscape (Landscape evolution code) to run simulations for landscape evolution. </br>Our main focus in the coupling is to model the dynamical topography resulting from the mantle flow at a very large spatial scale over tens of millions of years. Modeling topography from the interaction of the coupled tectonics with surface processes helps us better understand the interaction between these systems at different spatial and temporal scales. Modeling has proved to be helpful in understanding the behavior of large scale systems specially when they are coupled together and the interaction continues over the scale of thousands of years. I ran the initial models successfully and got some initial results ( thanks to Dr. Gregory E Tucker for replying to my emails and helping me understand the finer details of CHILD code). I still believe that when it comes to interpret/understand basic results from model simulations, I lack the skills to do that. I also feel a strong need to be exposed to more experts in this field to learn how the coupled interaction of different processes works and how we can better construct the history of landscape evolution. Reading more scientific publications definitely helps but as a early carrier research student, I believe that joining a workshop like this will be a great initiative to learn the fundamental aspects of coupling of short term-long term processes of earth. I also believe that this workshop will help me lead my work to new possible scientific directions.ork to new possible scientific directions. +
