A Physics-Based Emulator for the Simulation of Geophysical Mass Flows

SIAM/ASA Journal on Uncertainty Quantification, 2015
Summary: Rare natural hazards such as large volcanic eruptions can cause loss of life and damage to property. With sufficient information, those charged with public safety may issue warnings of impending hazards to mitigate the hazard impact. Recent developments in modeling and simulating large geophysical mass flows can provide useful information in ...

Physics and geophysics

Physics Bulletin, 1986
I agree with Bruce Hobbs (Physics Bulletin October 1985 p421) that a discussion meeting between the Joint Association for Geophysics and a specialist group within The Institute of Physics would be of value. It would undoubtedly assist physicists' investigations into certain geophysical problems related to, for example, solid state, solar–terrestrial ...

Simulations in Geophysics and Space Physics: Minisymposium Abstract

2007
High Performance Computing (HPC) enables increasingly complex computer models of physical processes to be built. Parallel computing, adaptive grids, and other computing tools are used to solve ever larger problems, but they also increase the complexity of the software significantly and can have an impact on the reliability of the software and the ...

The Role of Experimental Physical Acoustics in Geophysics

Tectonophysics, 1972
Abstract In the last five years, the progress made by measurements on rocks and minerals, using physical acoustics, has been impressive. This, coupled with corresponding theoretical progress, has resulted in a number of refinements in the understanding of the structure and history of the earth's upper mantle.

Ultraviolet radiation physics in astronomy and geophysics

Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, 1962
Abstract The astrophysicist has been compelled, in his studies of the solar and stellar atmospheres, to abandon in some cases the simpler “local thermodynamic equilibrium” approach. The new approach assumes statistical equilibrium and writes equations which concern the transfer of energy.

The Importance of Geophysical Experiments for Fundamental Physical Research

Acta Geodaetica et Geophysica Hungarica, 2000
The authors discuss the interdependence between geophysics and fundamental physics both from the historical and from the methodological points of view.

Rock Physics and Integrated Geophysical Methods

78th EAGE Conference and Exhibition 2016, 2016
Rock physics represents the background for integrating multidisciplinary geophysical data. In fact, some type of physical relationship is necessary for linking the different data and parameters in the seismic, gravity and electromagnetic domains. In this work, I discuss the different types of relationships and how these can be included in the objective

METRIC: A Dedicated Earth-Orbiting Spacecraft for Fundamental Physics and Geophysics

2018 5th IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for AeroSpace (MetroAeroSpace), 2018
A dedicated mission in low Earth orbit – called METRIC – is proposed to test selected predictions of gravitational theories and to measure directly the acceleration due to atmospheric drag in the altitude range considered, at the same time providing a metrological platform able to perform a tie between different space geodesy techniques.
