Work Plan

2015-2016

Software Development

Continue PyLith development (see CIG PyLith wiki):

earthquake cycle modeling
multiphysics
data assimilation
code reorganization to support new features

Community Activities

Provide training via virtual workshops
Continue series of in-person workshops on biannual basis (even years).

SCIENTIFIC QUESTIONS

Observationally constrained and internally consistent physics for the entire seismic cycle
Observationally constrained and internally consistent physics for tectonics of magmatic systems, geothermal systems, the cryosphere, and induced seismicity from fluid injection
Observationally constrained modeling of crustal deformation associated with surface loads

Past Activity

2014-2015

Code Release:

Pylith 2.0.3 This release provides several small updates for (1) improved CUBIT/Trelis compatibility in example journal files, (2) building with recent versions of automake, and (3) additional examples from the 2014 Crustal Deformation Modeling Workshop tutorials.

Pylith 2.1.0 This release 1) requires stations names for output at arbitrary points; 2) includes a progress monitor; 3) miscellaneous bug fixes.
