DeMoPlanet: a project to explore deformation as a result of magma intrusion
In collaboration with Claire Harnett and other international collaborators, Dr Sam Poppe leads this project, which aims to use discrete element method (DEM) modelling to investigate deformation and fracturing that occurs in host rock as a result of the injection of magma into a pre-existing magma body (i.e. a laccolith). The project combines fieldwork in trachy-andesite intrusions in the Polish Sudetes, rock mechanics, and modelling to understand how magma intrusion leads to deformation.
