petex的教育软件补助金

Ben helped facilitate the PETEX Educational Software grant from Petroleum Experts, valued at $2,764,444.11. This software permits students to apply 3D computer numerical modeling to complex fault and fracture systems.

  • 本·苏普勒斯是赌博娱乐平台网址大全的地球科学教授, 他在那里教授构造地质学课程, 地表过程, 全球气候变化, 地球环境系统, 以及第一年的经验, 气候变化.  本让学生参与他在内华达州西部的研究, 德州西部, 和犹他州南部, 他在哪里研究断层的地质演化, fold systems, 裂缝网络

    本在威斯康辛州北部长大, 高中老师的儿子, and went to college at Carleton College in Minnesota before attending graduate school at Stanford University.  At Stanford, he combined field and laboratory research to elucidate the evolution of fault systems in western Nevada.  同时, Ben’s experiences as a teaching assistant began to shape his teaching style, 其中涉及到主动的组合, 动手实地和实验室调查, 认真的讨论, 并使用清楚, 简明的视觉例子，以配合复杂的材料.

    Ben's current research focuses on two themes in structural geology. 在内华达州西部, 地震活跃区, he is investigating the role of range-scale segmentation in the evolution of mountainous topography. 他问了这样一个问题:如果山脉是分段的, or broken, 由一个重大的故障系统, 随后的变形会如何变化? Range-scale segmentation has implications for the propagation of faults and earthquake slip, 因此可以从根本上影响地震危险性的评估.

    在西德克萨斯，本专注于 耦合褶皱断裂系统的演化, hoping to understand how deep, unexposed faults affect the layers of rock above them. 的良好的曝光, folded rocks above these fault systems provide an opportunity to both determine the evolution of the fold as well as the behavior of rock units involved in the folding. The fractures that develop as part of these systems change the permeability of the layers, which has broad application to the flow of both water and petroleum in the subsurface.

    在犹他州南部, Ben investigates the relationship between complex normal fault systems and the fracture networks that develop as a consequence of fault propagation and slip.  就像他在德克萨斯州西部的研究一样, these exposed fault systems permit direct observations of features that are usually deeply buried beneath the surface.  通过结合实地考察, 断口分析, 和三维计算机建模, Ben and his students hope to elucidate how fault 裂缝网络 evolve, which has significant implications for fluid flow in similar systems in the subsurface.
