This page is not yet complete...In the future I'll add more links and other resources related to geodynamics and Earth Science, plus some useful fortran subroutines for numerical calculations. Some useful fortran routines: Following are some fortran routines that you may take and use at will. They have only been compiled and tested using g77. A stable spherical harmonics function. This subroutine uses a normalized recursion to prevent the occurrence of non-machine sized numbers that otherwise arise in calculating the associated Legendre functions. This routine is stable up to l>500, and is already normalized to meet the orthonormality condition...just multiple it with the appropriate sines and cosines of the longitude angle. A subroutine for converting an integer value to a character string. This takes an integer with an a priori known size (i.e. nsize=int(log10(1.0*n))+1) and puts it into a character string. This capability is often needed for writing sequences of files, e.g. in time-dependent calculations. A subroutine for extracting an integer from a character string. This is essentially the inverse of the above subroutine, and it will find the first integer embedded in a character string and return that value as an integer variable. General useful links: MYRES. Brad Hacker's Online Metamorphic Petrology Notes, Microstructures Online , a tutorial on microstructures and deformation from Monash University. Southern California buoy data (NOAA/CDIP) SoCal Swell Forecast Links to Useful Geophysical Data and Software Tools Gabi Laske's Page at Scripps. All sorts of useful seismic models, plus more. The Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) is the best open source plotting software available. The National Geophysical Data Center at the NOAA web site. Some Web Pages of People in Mantle Convection The following is a list of web pages for scientists that have worked on the problem of mantle convection either in the past or currently. This list is rather incomplete, however I have not had the time to root around the web to fill it out. I am constantly adding to this list, so if you find somebody missing from the list, and know the URL for their home page please contact me and I will add it. This list is freely available to anyone who wants it: simply copy the html source in this section. Michael Albers, Gottingen Jafar Arkani-Hamed, McGill U Thorsten W.
