Lateral Accretion of Cratons—The Influence of Surface Processes on Lithosphere Geodynamics

This repository contains examples of SOPALE input files used to generate the geodynamic models for the paper Lateral Accretion of Cratons--The Influence of Surface Processes on Lithosphere Geodynamics. Contents: L-A_inputFile_50Myr_sopale_nested_i: input file for compression phase (0-50 Myr) of model L-A M-A_inputFile_50Myr_sopale_nested_i: input file for compression phase (0-50 Myr) of model M-A H-A_inputFile_50Myr_sopale_nested_i: input file for compression phase (0-50 Myr) of model H-A L-A1_inputFile_sopale_nested_i: input file for post-compression phase (50-2000 Myr) of model L-A1 The provided examples are for models with 0 mm/yr erosion and sedimentation rates. To apply surface processes, line 317 in the input file is changed to 2 (for slope-dependent erosion), and rate of sedimentation and erosion in m/s is entered in line 318.
