[CIG-SHORT] use pylith to model magma chamber

[Charles Williams]

Hi Xiaopeng,

It depends what sort of volcano modeling you want to do.  If you want to do what Brad mentioned (inflation of magma chambers), it’s fairly straightforward.  I have a small demo I presented at IAVCEI about a year ago, and I can make the tarball available if you’re interested.  Brad, where should I put something like this?

Cheers,
Charles

It is possible to model inflation of magma chambers, but we don't have a good example. I will try to find one that I created a few years ago and have it available for the workshop.
