Computational Infrastructure for Geodynamics

Computational Infrastructure for Geodynamics

The Computational Infrastructure for Geodynamics (CIG) is a National Science Foundation-sponsored collaborative effort to improve geodynamic modelling and maintain software for fields related to geophysics. A major goal of CIG is to provide "a coordinated effort to develop reusable, well-documented and open-source geodynamics software."[1]

Software packages currently supported [2] include:

  • Computational Science: Cigma, Geodynamics AMR Suite (deal.II), Exchanger, and Pythia/Pyre.
  • Computational Seismology: Flexwin, Mineos, SPECFEM3D_GLOBE, SPECFEM3D, SPECFEM2D, SPECFEM1D, SEISMIC_CPML.
  • Geodynamo: MAG
  • Long-Term Crustal Dynamics: Gale[3], Plasti, and SNAC[4]
  • Mantle Convection: CitcomCU, CitcomS and Ellipsis3d[5], based on Citcom, and ConMan, and HC
  • Short-Term Crustal Dynamics: PyLith and LithoMop
