Description

Gale is a 2D/3D code for the long-term tectonics community. The code solves problems related to orogenesis, rifting, and subduction.

The current release (version 2.0.1) features the addition of a stabilizing term for models with a free surface. Gale is a joint effort between CIG, Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing (VPAC), and Montash University.
