The focus of this gathering will be computational models addressing
crustal deformation over the the seismic cycle across single and
multiple events. Other related topics, such as the mechanical
properties of the lithosphere and crustal deformation from volcanic
sources will also be discussed. The workshop will blend science talks
on case studies from particular faulting environments and on key
rheological behavior with discussions of current obstacles to crustal
deformation modeling.

As in previous years, topics will also span a variety of computational
issues including how to go from a geologic structural model to a
finite-element model, various numerical issues such as choosing
discretization schemes and meshing strategies, and consideration of
different bulk and fault zone rheologies. Another explicit goal of
this workshop is to provide basic training in the installation, use,
and customization of existing, freely available modeling software for
crustal deformation. There will be dedicated time throughout the
workshop for hands-on interaction with other users and developers of
the primary existing tools.

This year's workshop will be held June 14-18, 2010, in Golden,
Colorado on the campus of the Colorado School of Mines. The first two
days of the workshop will be tutorials (Day 1: beginner, Day 2:
intermediate/advanced) followed by three days of science talks,
discussions, and informal tutorials and collaboration.  We expect to
be able to provide reimbursement for a portion of the costs incurred
for registered attendees with official appointments at
U.S. institutions. There will be no registration fees.

More details will be announced in early April.
