Gale

by Sue Kientz — last modified 2010-01-06 03:59 PM

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

The current release (version 1.4.1) features a new power-law creep rheology and a few bug fixes. Gale is a joint effort between CIG, Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing (VPAC), and Monash University.
