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, ASPECT (an adaptive mesh refinement code based on Deal.II), and Ellipsis3d,[5] based on Citcom, and ConMan, and HC
- Short-Term Crustal Dynamics: PyLith, RELAX, and LithoMop
