We are a research group at the University of Alabama in the Department of Geological Sciences. Our mission is to simulate Earth's dynamic processes for two distinct, but overlapping objectives:

• To learn about the world around us. Demonstrably accurate simulations and predictions indicate understanding. This feeds back into improved mathematical representations, increasing knowledge.
• To make predictions of real future scenarios (forecasts) and hypothetical scenarios that can inform actions. The need for improved forecasts drives the need for improved simulations.

We collaborate closely with the U.S. National Water Center and the Alabama Water Institute, leveraging partnerships to tackle challenges in geophysical modeling and Earth system dynamics.
