[CIG-SHORT] FINAL CALL: CIG Short-Term Crustal Dynamics priorities 2012-2017

[Hongfeng Yang]

My preferred points of Pylith development:

1. Code development

  * Multiphysics.
     1. Incompressible elasticity via a pressure field expert
     2. Elasticity + heat flow expert
     3. Elasticity + fluid flow expert
  * Earthquake cycle modeling
     1. Same mesh for dynamic and quasi-static parts difficult
         1. Dynamic -> quasi-static
         2. Quasi-static -> dynamic
         3. Complete cycle
     2. Different meshes for dynamic and quasi-static parts expert

2. Training
* Extended visits by computational scientists and software engineers to 
expert users and earth science developers and vice versa. This could be 
implemented via some form of travel grants for in-depth training.

* Short workshops at larger scientific meetings to expand the user base

I would also prefer a short training workshop regarding on specific 
issues, e.g., how to overcome the difficulties to run Pylith on a large 
cluster. Topics should include what is typically hard to debug/solve via 
email.
