2011 Crustal Deformation Modeling Tutorial
This virtual workshop will focus on providing training in the use of the CIG PyLith software for quasi-static and dynamic modeling of crustal deformation, with an emphasis on interseismic, coseismic, and postseismic deformation. The training will also include instruction in CUBIT for creating finite-element meshes as input for PyLith and visualizing PyLith output using Paraview.
This three-day virtual workshop will be held Monday June 20 - Friday 24, 2011, using web-based tools and a teleconference line. Monday will be dedicated to beginning tutorials with the content progressing to intermediate level topics on Wednesday and Friday. Each of the three days will be divided into 2 hour sessions with morning (Pacific Time) and afternoon (Pacific Time) sessions. An alternative schedule (Schedule B) will have the same sessions at a time more convenient for participants in eastern Asia, New Zealand, and Australia (see the Agenda for details). There are no registration fees.
