Crustal rheology controls the style of rifting and ultimately the architecture of rifted margins.
Here we review the formation of three magma-poor margin pairs, Iberia-Newfoundland, the …

MFEM is an open-source, lightweight, flexible and scalable C++ library for modular finite
element methods that features arbitrary high-order finite element meshes and spaces …

This chapter introduces the geodynamic processes that influence tectonic rift evolution and
rifted margin architecture. Continental rifts result from geodynamic processes that …

ASPECT (Advanced Solver for Problems in Earth's ConvecTion) is a massively parallel finite
element code originally designed for modeling thermal convection in the mantle with a …

The development of highly efficient, robust and scalable numerical algorithms lags behind
the rapid increase in massive parallelism of modern hardware. We address this challenge …

We study and evaluate performance optimization techniques for the HPCG benchmark on
the newest generation Sunway supercomputer. Specifically, a two-level blocking scheme is …

The outcome of decades of two-dimensional modelling of lithosphere deformation under
extension is that mechanical coupling between the continental crust and the underlying …

Abstract Mesozoic‐Cenozoic rifting between Greenland and North America created the
Labrador Sea and Baffin Bay, while leaving preserved continental lithosphere in the Davis …

The similarity between the geometry of the West African and South American coastlines is
among one of the strongest natural observations supporting the plate tectonic paradigm …

This article presents a systematic quantitative performance study for large finite element
computations on extreme scale computing systems. Three parallel iterative solvers for the …
