DELTA: Modelling the cross-sectional architecture of a delta in response to changes in subsidence, sea-level and sediment supply

Typical output from delta modelling program

HANGINGWALL DEFORMATION: Kinematic modelling of hangingwall deformation in response to extension, contraction and inversion.

SHOT RECORD SIMULATION: Forward modelling of a seismic shot record to illustrate effects of noise, multiples, ghosts, attenuation and display parameters.

SEISMIC VELOCITY ANALYSIS: Seismic velocity anlaysis exercise using synthetic data.

RESERVOIR GEOPHYSICS: Forward modelling of seismic response to a hydrocarbon-filled anticline along with amplitude versus angle (AVA) elastic impedance and time-lapse (4D) analysis tools.

RESERVOIR FLOW: Simple modelling of hydrocarbon flow through channel and fault networks.

CO₂ INJECTION: Simple modelling of CO2 flow into a reservoir.

MILANKOVITCH CYCLES: Plausible ancient Milankovitch cycle period ranges.

EARTH-MOON SYSTEM: Earth-Moon System properties over last 2.5 Gy.

CLIMATE STRIPES: Animation of the classic "Climate Stripes" from the University of Reading. Compare to SHOW YOUR STRIPES.

Stripes are also used to show MODERN CLIMATE STRIPES, ICE AGE CLIMATE STRIPES and CLIMATE STRIPES OVER THE LAST HALF A BILLION YEARS.

ANTHROPOGENIC CLIMATE CHANGE: Simple model of anthropogenic climate change which introduces the concepts of mass-balance of greenhouse gasses and of climate sensitivity.

THE WATER AND CARBON CYCLES: Models produced specifically for schools; especially students taking A-Level Geography.
