The National Science Foundation has asked CIG to participate in the NSF Street Booth Fair. We have put together a spreadsheet to help staff the booth, as well as for “presentation” slots – virtual or in person, should you wish to show your most recent CIG-related work to get more engagement with the Community. Please view the slots here – and let me know if you would like to participate, with the slot time, your presentation title, and the file. (Poster is fine, we will have a large TV that can show a ‘virtual poster’ for the time period as well).
Booth Sign Up
We will be located at booth 1127.

The Executive Committee has been reviewing the current Bylaws of CIG, and updating them to reflect the new center at Davis. The Member Institutions of CIG have been sent copies of both the original and updated bylaws, and will be commencing voting on accepting changes as of December 9th, for a ratification in early January.
We have posted the ByLaws online at the CIG site, so that interested parties may view the changes. If you belong to an Institutional Member of CIG, and would like to make comments, please go to the CIG Membership Information webpage to find your particular representative.
The Pylith Team is pleased to announce the bugfix release of PyLith 1.6.2, a finite-element code designed to solve dynamic elastic problems and quasi-static viscoelastic problems in tectonic deformation.
This release fixes several bugs in PyLith v1.6.1. We strongly recommend all users of previous PyLith releases switch to this latest release, especially anyone running in parallel or using fault friction. You can download the source code and binaries from:
