The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Clemson University $116,138 on August 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to enhance numerical solution algorithms for the Advanced Solver for Planetary Evolution, Convection, and Tectonics (ASPECT) software package. The award supports improvements to ASPECT's solvers—both linear and nonlinear—to enable simulations of Earth's interior at greater computational scale and fidelity on modern high-performance computing architectures. These algorithmic enhancements will support geodynamics research including earthquake hazard modeling, understanding critical mineral and energy resource distribution, and investigating Earth's carbon cycle over geological timescales. The project includes development of training materials to help geoscientists and space scientists build their own simulations of Earth and other planets, moons, and asteroids. Performance of work occurs in Clemson, South Carolina, with a period of performance from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2029.
