Gale

Gale is a 2D/3D code for the long-term tectonics community. The code solves problems related to orogenesis, rifting, and subduction.

Gale User Manual The current release (version 2.0.0) features support for elements with much better numerical properties, a simpler, clearer input format, an equation parser, and fixes for thermal advection/diffusion. Gale is a joint effort between CIG, Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing (VPAC), and Monash University.

Status Developed, maintained, and supported.
