G-ADOPT: The Geoscientific ADjoint Optimisation PlaTform
What is G-ADOPT?
G-ADOPT is a next-generation computational platform for simulating geoscientific flows with adjoint-based methods, built on Firedrake. Developed at the ANU’s Research School of Earth Sciences in collaboration with international partners, it supports applications across mantle and lithosphere dynamics, glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), and groundwater modelling.
