Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarl Gable is a veteran computational geoscientist and software developer with over three decades at Los Alamos National Laboratory, currently serving as Guest Scientist in the Computational Earth Science Group. He specializes in mesh generation and computational geometry for geological applications, and has led development of widely used tools like LaGriT (Los Alamos Gridding Toolkit) and dfnWorks for discrete fracture network modeling. His research and software span computational hydrology, mantle convection and plate tectonics, and hydrothermal/metamorphic systems, combining deep domain science with production-grade code. As a long-time group leader and team lead, he brings rare experience translating complex geophysical problems into robust simulation workflows that endure in both research and applied settings. An interesting detail: his work underpins practical subsurface modeling used by engineers and scientists beyond academia, reflecting a career that blends fundamental geophysics with impactful open tools.
