GeoHazards: Computation
Research at the center builds on computation using a combination of advanced models of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), remote sensed data, and geographical information science (GIS). One of our products is the TITAN2D code for computational modeling of granular and wet mass flows for volcanic hazards applications.
