Short summary
This study introduces a novel framework combining geodynamic and surface process models, enhancing our understanding of Earth's crust and upper mantle deformation. By integrating the codes Underworld 2 and Badlands within the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian with Internal Boundary (ALE-IB) scheme, our approach overcomes the limitations of previous methods. It maintains internal interface integrity and precise surface tracking, improving simulation fidelity.
