  • Beschreibung: Geological processes such as mountain belt formation, subduction of tectonic plates and the development of sedimentary basins occur on a million-year timescale and involve rocks that have nonlinear visco-elasto-plastic material properties and experienced very large deformations. In order to simulate such processes in 3D, we developed a scalable parallel code, LaMEM, that employs a staggered finite difference discretisation combined with a marker and cell approach. Here, we describe the numerical approach and discuss some case studies in which we employed the code (i) to study the physics of crustal scale folding and faulting, (ii) to understand how continental collision might result in mountain belt and plateau formation, (iii) how it can be combined with an inversion strategy to constrain the rheology of the crust and lithosphere.
