Metamorphism is a complex geologic process that is often poorly covered in introductory geology courses. This study explores the effectiveness of a video-based instructional intervention in improving student understanding of metamorphism and its relationship to plate tectonics. The intervention includes an innovative assessment procedure featuring embedded QR codes, allowing participants to com…
Modern geodynamics is based on the study of a large set of models, with the variation of many parameters, whose analysis in the future will require Machine Learning to be analyzed. We introduce here for the first time how a formulation of the Lattice Boltzmann Method capable of modeling plate tectonics, with the introduction of plastic non-linear rheology, is able to reproduce the breaking of t…
