Underworld's lightweight cloud for online classrooms.

Underworld's lightweight cloud for online classrooms.

We built a cheap-and-cheerful solution with persistent storage and a binder-like access to notebooks in a repository that is aimed at serving a single classroom. The zero-to-server time is just a few minutes and there is minimal manual configuration.

How we added an auto-updating set of citations to underworld in our publications [https://www.underworldcode.org/publications-using-uw/] webpage. We need to curate all the publications that we can find that use the underworld [https://www.underworldcode.org/intro-to-underworld/] geodynamics code and provide this information on our website. To avoid

Alaska Moho Model (Reproducible research with containers)

Making your research reproducible means that you provide the entire workflow from data, through software and post-processing freely available. Not only can somebody repeat your experiments and verify them, they can build upon them. In lab-based disciplines, there are many further challenges, but in research that is predominantly based on

Craton Formation and the Onset of Plate Tectonics

Craton Formation and the Onset of Plate Tectonics

(they don't make them like they used to ... ) Cratons are anomalously-strong regions of the continents that have largely resisted tectonic forces for billions of years. How such strong zones could be forged in a hot, low-viscosity, low stress, early-Earth has been a long-standing puzzle for geologists. Adam Beall,

Modelling Drips and Delamination with Underworld

Modelling the relative time-scales of the Rayleigh-Taylor Instability and delamination, using Underworld With Adam Beall, Cardiff University. Why model sub-continental gravitational instabilities? Within the plate tectonics framework, continents are generally considered to have a much lower density than the asthenosphere below and therefore avoid the kind of recycling that the
