2D Model of Plateau Under Extension

The 2D model covers a region 1000 km x 100 km with a resolution of 2048x256 (about 0.5 km/grid point). The crust is 32 km thick at the edges, thickening to about 50 km in the center to keep everything isostatically compensated. The right side is pulled at 1 cm/year. The model was run with 512 processors and used a direct solver (Mumps).
