Kinematic and dynamic modeling of lithosphere deformation: Tools and results

This archive includes modeling tools (F-E source codes, F-E grid editor,
mapping utilities, model scoring programs) for study of lithospheric
deformation, either in the geologic past or in the present. 
Kinematic modeling codes include NeoKinema, which uses fault traces, GPS
velocities, and stress directions to model neotectonic deformation and
produce maps of forecast seismicity. Dynamic modeling codes include
Shells, which predicts plate motion, strain rates, fault slip rates and
stresses from stress-equilibrium and laboratory flow laws, allowing
estimate of torques exerted on each plate by the rest of the mantle. Each
code is accompanied by input and output files from at least one published
study.  Many associated utilities for tasks such as digitizing
fault traces, reframing GPS velocities, and estimating the covariance
matrices of GPS datasets round out an integrated package. No commercial
software is required (although Adobe Illustrator is convenient for
visualizing and editing maps). Additional software in this archive allows
reproduction of the global shallow seismicity models SHIFT_GSRM and GEAR1
(previously published separately).
