1.2 Acknowledgments

The development of ASPECT has been funded through a variety of grants to the authors. Most immediately, it has been supported through the Computational Infrastructure in Geodynamics grant, initially by the CIG-I grant (National Science Foundation Award No. EAR-0426271, via The California Institute of Technology) and later by the CIG-II and CIG-III grants (National Science Foundation Awards No. EAR-0949446 and EAR-1550901, via The University of California – Davis). In addition, the libraries upon which ASPECT builds heavily have been supported through many other grants that are equally gratefully acknowledged.
