[CIG-LONG] Supports in developing Gale

[mspieg]

Hi Po-Hao,
     There was some initial work by the VPAC-Monash group to  
incorporate magma dynamics into Underworld/St Germaine as part of the  
stgMADDS (St Germain, Magma-Dynamics Demonstration Suite) projects.   
I don't know if this has been incorporated into GALE but Walter would  
know.

In addition, there is a general Magma Dynamics Working group, whose  
long range plan is to integrate magma dynamics/fluid migration into  
all of  CIG geodynamics codes.  I've also produced  a FEniCS-PETSc  
version of the MADDs Suite (which needs to be updated to the latest  
version of the FEniCS code suite, but is available on the mercurial  
servers at CIG).  However,  the expectation for major future  
development will probably be code built on the deal.ii code base.  I  
will be discussing some of these issues at the CIG business meeting  
at AGU, and I would be happy to discuss any of this, plus the Magma  
Dynamics working group with you (and anyone else interested in magma/ 
fluids).  Just let me know

Cheers
Marc Spiegelman
