ASPECT, the Advanced Solver for Problems in Earth's Convection, is an extensible open source, community supported code.  The code is being applied to a broad range of problems in geodynamics.  This talk will explore the community's efforts in benchmarking, implementation of visco-plastic rheologies as applied to 3D instantaneous modelling of subduction in the Aegean, and investigations of  'real free surface' vs. 'sticky air’ models of 2D thermo-mechanically coupled subduction.
