Computational Modeling Workshop

📅 September 28 – October 2, 2026 | University of Mainz

Computational geodynamic modeling, grounded in observable, such as passive seismic, imaging, is a main aspect of the DEFORM Programme. In the first year of the project, we are pleased to invite you to a hands-on training week for members looking to strengthen their practical skills in computational geodynamics and seismology.

The week-long workshop combines introductory sessions with guided exercises and time for independent work. The program focuses on:

  • Julia-based tools
  • GeophysicalModelGenerator + Picker to visualize geophysical data
  • LaMEM for geodynamic simulations
  • SeisSol/CyberShake for seismic rupture and seismic cycle simulations

Preliminary schedule:
