Linking Visco-elasto-plastic Modeling of Recent Slab Deformation to Present-day Deep Earthquakes

Included in this repository are the files associated with the published manuscript "Linking Visco-Elasto-Plastic Modeling of Recent Slab Deformation to Present-Day Deep Earthquakes" Rebecca A Fildes and Magali I Billen (2025) https://doi.org/10.1029/2024JB029678. See ReadMe for explanations of included files and see the manuscript for detailed model descriptions. **NOTE: Since the time of publication, the visco-elasticity implementation within ASPECT has significantly changed. The parameter files in this repository may serve as a reference for setting up future models, but these paremeter files cannot be run "as is" with the newer version of ASPECT.
