Data Integration and Multiphysics Simulations in the Earth Sciences -
Part I of II
2:00 PM-4:00 PM
Room: Executive Salon 3
Modern computers allow engineers and scientists to develop much more
complete models and to simulate a range of coupled physical
processes. Such simulations provide substantial amounts of additional
information for analysis; yet they also introduce difficulties.
Often, multiple temporal and spatial scales must be reconciled
between data types, input parameters for the simulations are likely
to be uncertain, and the act of linking these simulations may not be
straight-forward. In this minisymposium, the speakers will present a
range of data integration/multiphysics analyses hich include as
applications plate tectonics, environmental site characterization,
and hydrocarbon recovery.
