The project aims to understand the multiscale dynamics of interacting faults on a global scale using novel computer simulations with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. The focus of the research is to investigate the two-way coupling that exists between cycles of great earthquakes on plate boundaries, the global stress field, deformation within the crust, and changes to the Earth's dynamic topography. This is an important, foundational question in the emerging field of decadal scale global geodynamics. The tools are intended to improve reference models used to study sea-level changes in response to global ice loss. They support better climate models and improved forward planning tools for at-risk coastal communities.

该项目旨在使用具有前所未有的空间和时间分辨率的新型计算机模拟在全球范围内了解相互作用故障的多尺度动力学。这项研究的重点是研究板界大地震周期之间存在的双向耦合，全球应力场，地壳内的变形以及地球动态地形的变化。这是衰老规模的全球地球动力学的新兴领域中的一个重要的基础问题。这些工具旨在改善用于研究全球冰损失的海平面变化的参考模型。他们支持更好的气候模型，并改善了高危沿海社区的远期计划工具。
