Gale

by Sue Kientz — last modified 2008-06-16 05:16 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 1.3.0) has more benchmarks, a thoroughly tested implementation of friction, and a number of robustness and memory fixes. Gale is a joint effort between CIG, Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing (VPAC), and Monash University.
