FastEarth3D: An open-source 3D glacial isostatic adjustment model for climate simulations
Summary
FastEarth3D is an open-source 3D solid-Earth model (visco-elastic deformation coupled with sea-level equation) designed as a replacement for VILMA within the CLIMBER-X climate model. It uses a spectral-finite-element, time-domain approach with spherical harmonics horizontally and finite elements radially, incorporating an incompressible Maxwell rheology, self-consistent sea-level equation with migrating coastlines, and rotational feedback. The model is built to be 3D-ready from the start.
