This award provides funding for the Computational Infrastructure for Geodynamics (CIG) to build and sustain essential cyberinfrastructure and computational capacity for geodynamics and seismology. Over the past decade, CIG has developed and disseminated widely-used, open-source codes for research and education in computational seismology, mantle convection, magma dynamics, short- and long-term lithospheric and crustal deformation, and geodynamo modeling. CIG has changed the culture in computational geophysics research by improving scientific software development practices and has influenced the education of hundreds of geodynamicists. CIG?s approach towards writing and disseminating scientific software has become indispensable to its community and has established and sustained deep ties to computational sciences.Scientific computation is integral to solid Earth geosciences, allowing us to understand and quantify the processes that shape Earth. Computational models link observations and quantitative models describing the Earth?s interior and evolution. This project will continue the development and dissemination of high quality scientific software to enable cutting edge geodynamics modeling, and to prepare a diverse workforce to address fundamental science questions. While CIG?s primary mission is development of high-quality open-source software, a growing role is the education and development of geoscientists who are prepared to effectively use and advance computation in research and teaching. Workshops, hackathons, meeting special sessions, and tutorials foster emerging computational geoscientists who represent the long-term legacy of the project.

该奖项为地球动力学的计算基础设施（CIG）提供了资金，以建立和维持基本网络基础设施以及地球动力学和地震学的计算能力。在过去的十年中，CIG已开发并传播了广泛使用的开源，开源代码，用于计算地震学，地幔对流，岩浆动力学，短期和长期岩石层和地壳变形以及Geodynamo建模的研究和教育。 CIG通过改善科学软件开发实践改变了计算地球物理学研究的文化，并影响了数百名地球动力学家的教育。 CIG的写作和传播科学软件的方法已成为其社区必不可少的，并与计算科学建立了和持续的联系。ScientificComputitation与固体地球科学不可或缺，使我们能够理解和量化塑造地球的过程。计算模型链接了描述地球内部和进化的定量模型。该项目将继续开发和传播高质量的科学软件，以实现最先进的地球动力学建模，并准备多样化的劳动力以解决基本科学问题。虽然CIG的主要任务是开发高质量的开源软件，但越来越多的作用是地球科学家的教育和发展，他们准备有效地使用和推动研究和教学中的计算。讲习班，黑客马拉松，会议特殊会议和教程培养了代表该项目长期遗产的新兴计算地球科学家。
