This award supports continued operations of the Computational Infrastructure for Geodynamics (CIG) facility to build and sustain essential cyberinfrastructure and computational capacity for geodynamics and seismology. Since 2005, CIG has developed and disseminated widely used, open-source software for research and education in computational seismology, mantle convection, magma dynamics, short- and long-term lithospheric deformation, and geodynamo modeling. CIG continues to shape the culture of computational geophysics research by improving scientific software development practices and by advancing the education of hundreds of geodynamicists. CIG’s approach toward scientific software development and dissemination has become indispensable to geodynamics and related scientific communities and includes 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 not only shape but also influence the habitability of the Earth. Computational models provide an essential link between observations and quantitative models describing the evolution and connections between the Earth's interior and surface, as well as relationships between solid Earth processes and atmospheric changes. CIG models also inform applications to geohazards, natural resources, and national security.CIG continues to enable frontier research in geodynamics by supporting sustainable software development, cyberinfrastructure, and human resources. Guided by collaborative community governance, CIG focuses on 4 cornerstones: 1) Modeling software: Providing powerful software to solve computational models, motivated by important science questions, and built on best practices in open source software and scientific computing; (2) Computational workflows: supporting workflows that facilitate the set-up, execution, analysis, and exchange of complex computational models; (3) Training: Enabling a well-educated, well-trained, and diverse workforce that can effectively use and extend computational models for reproducible discovery and reuse, and that can fully exploit high-performance computing resources; and (4) Community: Building and sustaining a diverse and sustainable community of disciplinary and interdisciplinary researchers working together on challenging geoscience and software problems.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项支持用于地球动力学（CIG）设施的计算基础设施的持续运营，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。自2005年以来，CIG已开发并传播了广泛使用的开源软件，用于计算地震学，地幔结构，岩浆动力学，短期和长期岩石圈变形和Geodynamo建模的研究和教育。 CIG通过改善科学软件开发实践并推进数百名地球动力学家的教育，继续塑造计算地球物理研究的文化。 CIG对科学软件开发和传播的方法对于地球动力学和相关科学社区来说是必不可少的，并包括与计算科学的建立和持续联系。科学计算是固体地球科学不可或缺的一部分，使我们能够理解和量化不仅塑造而且影响地球可居住性的过程。计算模型提供了描述地球内部和表面之间的演变和连接的定量模型之间的基本联系，以及固体地球过程与大气变化之间的关系。 CIG模型还为地球扎第斯还核心，自然资源和国家安全提供了信息。CIG继续通过支持可持续的软件开发，网络基础设施和人力资源来实现地球动力学的边境研究。在协作社区治理的指导下，CIG专注于4个基石：1）建模软件：提供强大的软件来解决以重要的科学问题的启发，并基于开源软件和科学计算的最佳实践； （2）计算工作流程：支持促进复杂计算模型的设置，执行，分析和交换的支持工作流； （3）培训：实现一个受过良好教育，训练有素和潜水员的劳动力，可以有效地使用和扩展计算模型进行可再现的发现和重复使用，并可以充分探索高性能计算资源； （4）社区：建立和维持一个纪律和跨学科研究人员的潜水和可持续社区，共同研究了挑战地球科学和软件问题。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并且我们是否通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准来评估我们的支持。
