Course goals¶

Understand the fundamental physical equations solved in numerical geodynamic models, how they work, and how they affect numerical experiments
Learn how to convert the main equations used to model lithospheric deformation into simple programs
Develop a background understanding of geodynamics that allows you to properly understand the behavior of geodynamic numerical models
