Much of what one refers to as geological activity of the Earth is due to the fact that heat is transported from the interior of our planet to the surface in a planetwide solid-state convection in the Earth’s mantle. For this reason, the study of the dynamics of the mantle is critical to our understanding of how the entire planet works. Simulating Earth mantle dynamics requires a resolution in space and time that makes it one of the grand challenge applications in the computational sciences. With exascale systems of the future it will be possible to advance beyond the deterministic forward problem to a stochastic uncertainty analysis for the inverse problem. TERRA-NEO brings top experts together that cover all aspects of CS&E, from modeling via the discretization to solvers and software engineering for exascale architectures.
