29 June 2012 – Seminar
When: 11am on Friday, 29 June 2012
Where: DIAS, Geophysics Section, 5 Merrion Square, Dublin 2, (library)
Speaker: Louis Moresi (Monash University)
Title: Whole of Basin modelling in the Australian context
Abstract:
The Whole of Basin project is an attempt to give an overview of the competing uses of basins as sources of fresh water, hydrocarbons, and heat, and as potential storages for CO2. Exploitation of any one of these resources can impact the ability to utilise the others effectively through subsurface pressure and stress changes. We are attempting to build tools to assist in the management and regulation of basins to help maximise the benefit of the subsurface resources and minimise adverse impacts. To do this, we are developing the capacity to import 3D geological models which have constructed by interpretation of potential field geophysics, seismic sections and field mapping into our 3D thermal/mechanical modelling code: Underworld.
Our aim with Underworld has been to build a computationally efficient, very high performance platform which allows us to contemplate very large numbers of very high resolution runs so that we can explore the consequences of uncertainties in the subsurface structure and properties, and improve our knowledge of the subsurface by including geodynamic constraints into the interpretation / evaluation processes.

She has over 15 years’ experience working in PR and communications and has wide-ranging experience of providing strategic communications support to organisations. Learn more about the competition and submit an entry 👉dias.ie/reachforthesta… #DIASdiscovers #astrophotography
Meet the Judges of our "Reach for the Stars" Astrophotography competition! @MartinaPQuinn is the Founder & Managing Director of @helloalicepr.
Want to learn more about what's happening on Mars? Check out our public lecture from November delivered Dr John Clinton and titled MarsQuakes! (5/5) youtu.be/_Lp0oLJ8Ahs
And then this Thursday @NASAMars Perseverance rover reaches Mars, which will try to land in a near equatorial crater called Jezero. Here you can see a possible route around the crater. (4/5)
Last Wednesday, the day the UAE revealed their first image of Mars, China's National Space Administration's Tianwen-1 arrived at Mars. This carries a rover which will be despatched to the surface in the coming months. (3/5) bbc.com/news/science-e…
First up is the @uaespaceagency's Hope mission entered orbit this day last week. It is the first inter-planetary mission by the UAE, and will stay in a wide orbit for one Martian year or two earth years to study climate and weather. (2/5)
It's a busy month over at our planetary neighbour Mars. Three missions headed there have or will enter orbit this month. Why so many at one time? They were timed to launch when the distance between the Earth and Mars was relatively short. (1/5)
