Matlab modelling for Geological Processes

Important: We have to agree on project idea before I award you the project officially. Please send me the project idea along with references, when biding. It's mainly a term final project of my "Computer Modelling of Natural Processes" course. You have to find an idea based on published articles and the following course syllabus: 1) Cellular automata and Monte Carlo simulations: a) Theory of self-organized criticality, scale invariance and fractals, spatial and temporal correlations and memory; b) Sandpile, forest-fire, Manna, OFC and similar models; c) Slider-block models and earthquakes, friction laws; d) Modeling of fracture and flow of materials and rocks, fiber-bundle model; e) Percolation and diffusion limited aggregation; f) Lattice-gas cellular automata. 2) Stochastic processes and simulations: a) Homogeneous and non-homogeneous Poisson processes, branching and point processes; b) Earthquake simulation and modeling as a point process in space and time. 3) Continuous problems: a) Simulation of the slider-block model; b) Dynamical systems and chaos, deterministic chaos It doesn't have to be very big/complicated but attractive. Finally you have to model that in Matlab, write a scientific style report around 10-15 pages (+figures, tables and references) and prepare a power point file for a 10-15 minutes presentation. Please reply with brief description about the project idea along with the references. I need everything done by November 10. Payment $150
