What does "geodynamics" mean for you? Do you think a domain or sub-field is overlooked? In this Wit & Wisdom post, Colin Hardy Colin Hardy PhD student in fluid dynamics at the University of Leeds, makes a case for core! University of Leeds blogs.egu.eu/divisions/gd/2…

First paper from my PhD, published in Physical Review Fluids! Jetting behaviour in inkjet printing using numerical simulations with direct experimental comparisons, for realisting scales journals.aps.org/prfluids/abstr…

Important research from Leeds Institute for Fluid Dynamics (LIFD) member and EPSRC CDT Future Fluid Dynamics supervisor Phil Livermore on the wandering pole in the Earth's magnetic field. See the BBC News (UK) story here bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

New paper published in #GJI from my recent PhD work on why we expect "Enhanced magnetic fields within a stratified layer" and the implications for the top of Earth's core. academic.oup.com/gji/gji/advanc… Leeds Institute for Fluid Dynamics (LIFD) @IGTLeeds Open Research Leeds RAS Journals

Very happy to see this paper come out in Nature Communications. We asked the question: how fast can Earth's magnetic field change direction? The answer is "pretty fast" - perhaps up to 10 degrees per year if you're near the equator. A rather longer answer is here: rdcu.be/b5rQr

🌟JOB⭐️Work with me in Earth and Environment at Leeds University of Leeds developing high-res dynamo models to analyse rapid magnetic field changes and constrain deep mantle processes. Up to 4 yrs funding from Natural Environment Research Council. Deadline: 7th Oct. Please spread the word/contact me! jobs.leeds.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?r…

Stefano Maffei Stefano Maffei 🇪🇺🌍 and Chris Davies Chris Davies take a deep dive to the outer core to explore how this interacts with the mantle to generate & shape the Earth's magnetic field! 🧭🧲Read the whole magnetic story👇Earth and Environment at Leeds European Geosciences Union blogs.egu.eu/divisions/gd/2…

Check out our new paper on Parareal and Rayleigh-Benard convection: doi.org/10.1007/s00791…, with Steve Tobias, Daniel Ruprecht, Chris Davies and Jeff Oishi.

Very pleased to say that I have joined Oxford Fluid Dynamics Lab Engineering Science, Oxford University of Oxford today as a #postdoc in fluid dynamics. Thanks to The Royal Society for funding. Stay tuned for some exciting droplet research!

To bookend the week with good news, I passed my PhD viva this morning.🥳 Thanks to everyone involved, especially my lead supervisor Mark Wilson, for getting me to this point! EPSRC CDT Future Fluid Dynamics Leeds Institute for Fluid Dynamics (LIFD) Thanks to Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council UK Fluids Network for funding.

An excellent end to the week: Colin Hardy submitted his PhD thesis "Magnetostrophic analysis of Earth's internal magnetic field." It was a genuine pleasure to work with him on it. Well done!

Excited and delightful to start as a postdoc research associate at the Oxford Mathematics in University of Oxford joining the WCMBlog and OCIAM group. I'll be working on mathematical modelling of cell therapies for liver disease funded by Medical Research Council. More to come soon...

Congratulations! to Dr Rob on successfully passing his PhD viva today. He's done a fantastic job throughout his studies and I'm sure more good science is to come. A shame we can't have the usual celebrations, but raising a virtual glass. 🍾🥂

I'm excited to have arrived in Zurich ETH Zürich to start a postdoc with the Earth and Planetary Magnetism group @ETH_ERDW epm.ethz.ch/people/person-…

You heard of Quasi-Geostrophy, but have you heard of Plesio-Geostrophy? 🤪 This new paper describes a new mathematical model that we will use to explore interannual dynamics of the Earth's outer core. Tests being currently run! eprints.whiterose.ac.uk/166399/1/PRSL.…

***new paper alert*** The second paper from my #PhD has just been published by Physical Review Fluids. What a great way to end the week! 🎉🎊 Thermal boundary layers (TBL) control many aspects of convecting systems and we try to accurately measure the size of these TBL.

Delighted to pass my viva today! Huge thanks goes to my supervisors, examiners, EPSRC CDT Future Fluid Dynamics and Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council for the funding.

Pleased to share our new paper on Interest Rate Risk Stress testing! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… We have developed a new quantitative method to comprehensively search Interest Rate space, identify all areas of vulnerability and asses the resilience of any given bank’s balance sheet
