What is Carst?
Carst is a stratigraphic forward model with a difference. Like other stratigraphic models, Carst can simulate sedimentary sequences over geological time. Unlike other models, Carst is finite-element based so that it can take advantage of unstructured meshes, increasing resolution in areas of interest and decreasing it where detail is less important. It is also the first stratigraphic model that has an inbuilt adjoint capability, which means it can be used to quantify uncertianity, explore parameter sapce effectively and assimilate data into model runs. Carst is also fully parallel.
