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. The project's purpose is to develop, support, and disseminate open-source software for the geodynamics research community. [1]
CIG is located at the University of California, Davis, and is a member-governed consortium with 58 member institutions and 13 international affiliates.
Software packages currently supported [2] include:
- Computational Science: Geodynamics AMR Suite (Deal.II), Exchanger, Cigma, and Pythia/Pyre.
- Computational Seismology: SPECFEM3D_GLOBE, SPECFEM3D, SPECFEM2D, SPECFEM1D, SEISMIC_CPML, Flexwin, and Mineos.
- Geodynamo: Calypso, 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), Ellipsis3d,[5] based on Citcom, and ConMan, and HC
- Short-Term Crustal Dynamics: PyLith, RELAX, SELEN, and LithoMop
