On the weekend, I returned from a 3-week research stay at ETH Zürich. I had a very productive time with Albert de Montserrat. We worked on improving the performance of my code DEDLoc and managed to speed it up by about 40%! We also, worked with Albert’s code JustRelax and tested various scenarios where magmatic intrusion interacts with pre-existing faults. And maybe there is also some diking projects coming in the future. Thanks to all the members of the GFD group at ETH for welcoming me.
