This $193,783 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program, under CFDA 47.070, supports the development of new computational methods to simulate and advance the understanding of the dynamic interplay between Earth's surface and interior processes.

The award enables the coupling of two widely used community codes - ASPECT for modeling mantle dynamics and long-term tectonic processes, and LANDLAB for simulating surface processes. The resulting software and workflows will allow researchers typically focused on either Earth's surface or interior to initiate new studies of coupled processes relevant to geohazards and resource exploration. The project also includes parallelizing LANDLAB to improve its performance across a range of applications, including modeling short time-scale processes such as volcanic eruptions, landslides, and flooding. All software developed will be openly available and fully documented, with community training activities to promote the adoption of the new methods.
