Other related topics, such as the mechanical<br>properties of the lithosphere and crustal deformation from volcanic<br>sources will also be discussed. The workshop will blend science talks<br>on case studies from particular faulting environments and on key<br>rheological behavior with discussions of current obstacles to crustal<br>deformation modeling.<br><br>As in previous years, topics will also span a variety of computational<br>issues including how to go from a geologic structural model to a<br>finite-element model, various numerical issues such as choosing<br>discretization schemes and meshing strategies, and consideration of<br>different bulk and fault zone rheologies. Another explicit goal of<br>this workshop is to provide basic training in the installation, use,<br>and customization of existing, freely available modeling software for<br>crustal deformation. There will be dedicated time throughout the<br>workshop for hands-on interaction with other users and developers of<br>the primary existing tools.<br><br>This year's workshop will be held June 14-18, 2010, in Golden,<br>Colorado on the campus of the Colorado School of Mines. The first two<br>days of the workshop will be tutorials (Day 1: beginner, Day 2:<br>intermediate/advanced) followed by three days of science talks,<br>discussions, and informal tutorials and collaboration. We expect to<br>be able to provide reimbursement for a portion of the costs incurred<br>for registered attendees with official appointments at<br>U.S. institutions. There will be no registration fees.<br><br>More details will be announced in early April.<div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
