3 July 2020

On July 3., 2020, NumGeo member Lennart Marien defended his PhD thesis. In his work he showed that solution artifacts close to steep topography/orography may be caused by imbalanced numerical methods. He also developed possible cures - so-called well-balanced schemes - for the problem in his thesis titled Towards well-balancing the regional hydrostatic climate model REMO. The Defense was conducted in hybrid mode with a number of committee members taking part online - a first in NumGeo Group's history.
