TISC & tAo: Coupled Tectonic and Surface Processes Models

This repository contains the source code for two closely related scientific modeling softwares: TISC and tAo. They are managed together in this monorepo to facilitate the sharing of common libraries and ensure consistency.

TISC: 2D (planform modeling, pseudo 3D)

TISC (Tectonics, Isostasy, Surface Processes, and Climate) is a 2D/3D planform model for simulating the interaction between tectonic processes, lithospheric flexure, and surface processes like erosion and sedimentation.

• Source Code: ./tisc/
• Documentation: ./tisc/doc/

tAo: (vertical cross-section modeling, pseudo 2D)

tAo is a 1D (pseudo-2D) model for simulating the evolution of a vertical cross-section of the lithosphere, including flexure, faulting, and surface processes. It is ideal for modeling foreland basin systems.

• Source Code: ./tao/
• Documentation: ./tao/doc/

Compilation

To compile both projects, simply run make from this root directory:

make

This will place all executables in the root bin/ directory.
