11 - 11 December 2013

This is a CSDMS related meeting

The goal of this mini-workshop is to discuss the availability and performance of community modeling codes for coupling geodynamics and surface processes. The workshop is motivated by the recent formation of the Geodynamics Focus Research Group within the Community Surface Dynamic Modeling System (CSDMS), which is co-sponsored by GeoPRISMS. The Geodynamics FRG was formed with the aim of understanding the interplay between climatic, geomorphic, and geological/tectonic processes in governing Earth surface processes and landscape evolution. A primary goal of the Geodynamics FRG is to move toward an integrated-coupled modeling suite that has the capability to account for paleo-topography, geology, substrate lithology, crustal deformation, climate, vegetation, runoff production, and ensuing sediment transport and storage.
