Multidisciplinary computational modelling: From planetary science to human populations

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This research project spans two very different areas, which nevertheless can be understood through similar computer-modelling techniques. One is the origin of planetary systems---both our own as well as the nearly 500 that have been discovered to date around other stars. Our previous NSERC-funded work already gave us important new insights into how the characteristics of a planetary system are determined by its very early "birth" environment, and how our own Solar System fits into the picture. One focus of
