This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $317,272 will fund the development of new computational methods to simulate and advance the understanding of the dynamic interplay between the Earth's surface and interior processes.
The principal awardee, the University of Colorado, will couple two widely used community codes - ASPECT (originally for simulating mantle dynamics) and LANDLAB (for modeling surface processes) - to enable scientific communities that typically study either the Earth's surface or interior to initiate new research on coupled processes. The project will deliver software, workflows, and training materials to facilitate the adoption of these coupled modeling capabilities, which have direct relevance to studying geohazards and resource exploration. The award period is from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2028.
