This repository contains LaMEM source code and input files for the models presented in Kumar, A., Cacace, M., Scheck-Wenderoth, M., Götze, H.-J., & Kaus, B. J. P. (2022). Present-day upper-mantle architecture of the Alps: Insights from data-driven dynamic modeling. Geophysical Research Letters, 49, e2022GL099476. https://doi. org/10.1029/2022GL099476 Contents: 1. LaMEM source code (LaMEM.zip) instructions to install it can be found at https://bitbucket.org/bkaus/lamem/src/master/. Note that this version of the code uses PETSc 3.9.4, ideally installed with the external packages SUPERLU_DIST, MUMPS and PASTIX. Please see the README.md file. 2. markers distribution for the input models in the folder GRL_models_markers: ./GRL_models_markers/markers_mean : marker distribution for mean model ./GRL_models_markers/markers_mean+std : marker distribution for mean+std model ./GRL_models_markers/markers_mean-std : marker distribution for mean-std model ./GRL_models_markers/markers_CSEM : marker distribution for CSEM tomography model ./GRL_models_markers/markers_SL2013 : marker distribution for SL2013 tomography model ./GRL_models_markers/markers_EU60 : marker distribution for EU60 tomography model ./GRL_models_markers/markers_MeRe2020 : marker distribution for MeRe2020 tomography model 3. LaMEM input file: alps_lith_slabs_400km_HR_reg.dat To run LaMEM simulation use following: mpiexec -np 16 ~/your/path/to/lamem/bin/opt/LaMEM -ParamFile alps_lith_slabs_400km_HR_reg.dat The default input model is the mean. In order to run different model please change the markers distribution in the alps_lith_slabs_400km_HR_reg.dat in the following part of the input file and rename the output file name. #=============================================================================== # Model setup & advection #=============================================================================== msetup = files mark_load_file = ./GRL_models_markers/markers_mean/mdb # marker input file (extension is .xxxxxxxx.dat) #=============================================================================== # Output #=============================================================================== # Grid output options (output is always active) out_file_name = alps_reg_mean_HR # output file name 4. Post-processing of the output is done in Paraview and ploting using GMT5.
