The workshop on Geodynamic Modeling of Tectonic Processes was held from June 10-12, 2005 in Breckenridge, Colorado. This workshop examined the scientific and computational issues that challenge geodynamic modeling of tectonic problems in the coming decade, and focused primarily on tectonic processes that affect continental lithosphere over timescales longer than the earthquake cycle.

The workshop's goals were to identify problems which the tectonic modeling community believes should be the focus of research in the coming decade, to identify modeling tools that are available or need to be developed to address these problems, and to develop a strategy for maximizing national and international cooperation within the tectonic modeling community. The workshop was primarily designed as a venue for planning U.S. science funding under the auspices of the NSF, but selected international participants were also invited. Emphasis was on understanding continental tectonic processes (including continental margins), but participation from the marine science community was encouraged in as much as understanding of basic processes is common to both oceans and continents.
