Here comes Conda...
Sharing a workflow environment is also paramount if we want to make sure that reproducibility can be effectively tested. An environment management system such as conda allows us to do so.
Underworld 2.10
Underworld 2.10 has dropped... kidding this is a benchmark model proposed by Schmalholz, 2011, A simple analytical solution for slab detachment.
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.

Viscoelasticity in Underworld2
Viscoelastic materials exhibit the properies of both solids and liquids, with
deformation rates dependent on both the viscous stress and elastic stress rate.
In a Maxwell viscoelastic material the strain rate $D$ is proportional to the
sum of the stress $\tau$ and the stress rate $\dot\tau$,
\begin{equation}
D_
