معرفی
Marc W. Spiegelman is the Arthur D. Storke Memorial Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences and Professor of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics at Columbia University. He chairs the Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics and is a member of the senior staff at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO). His work bridges theoretical and computational modeling with observational/experimental programs at LDEO.
- B.A. in Geology from Harvard University (1985)
- Ph.D. in Geology and Geophysics from the University of Cambridge (1989)
His research focuses on fluid-solid interactions in Earth systems, including magma migration, geological carbon sequestration via reactive cracking, computational thermodynamics, earthquake fluid dynamics, and deformation in water-ice systems. He developed the TerraFERMA software for reproducible finite element modeling of multi-physics problems.
Spiegelman's recent publications emphasize computational geodynamics, magma dynamics, and fluid mechanics. His work integrates advanced numerical methods with real-world geological applications.
