Research results presented by Boris Lunev, PhD (phys.-math.), a senior research scientist at the Laboratory of Seismogeological Modeling of Natural Oil and Gas Systems at the Trofimuk Institute of Petroleum Geology and Geophysics (IPGG SB RAS) were discussed within the frames of the scientific workshop.
Boris Lunev
Boris Lunev’s report was devoted to integrated geological and geophysical numerical models (complex ‘realistic’ models) of the processes of formation of large epicontinental sedimentary basins at different stages of their evolution.
He noted that, on a regional and supra-regional scale, such models describe the processes of formation of almost all types of large tectonic structures and the associated processes of decompression melting, as well as features of the melt’s behavior (melting dynamics), and the geodynamic conditions of formation of various rock types (petrological zoning).
On a global scale, the model describes the structure of whole-mantle convection, which will be helpful in determining the main features of the Earth surface dynamics at the current stage of development, and in discussing major aspects of the global evolution of the Earth, such as core- mantle separation, mantle-crust evolution, origin of ocean- atmosphere system.
Given that there is a constant need to develop new models that allow one to assess multifactorial risks associated with the geodynamic processes, Boris Lunev plans to further develop modeling of the processes occurring in the mantle and consolidated crust, as well as in the sedimentary cover. In practical terms, the presented results will be useful to a wide range of specialists. /p>
