[CIG-SHORT] (no subject)

Brad,

As you requested, a few lines on our work:

We (Gary Egbert and I) are in early stages of developing variational  
data assimilation and inversion techniques for short-term geodynamic  
problems. Currently, we are focussing our attention using GeoFEST as  
a specific case study. In the coming year, we would only request CIG  
share their expertise and experiences rather than any specific coding  
tasks.

In next 2-3 years, we envision CIG could help develop codes or  
perform software re-engineering for existing forward modeling  
geodynamic codes (that the geodynamics community thinks could really  
benefit from a formalized data assimilation methodology) in ways that  
would expedite the handshake between the techniques being developed  
at Oregon State University to various challenging short-term  
geodynamics problems.
