Section Title:
Landscape Evolution
Section Info:
This course begins with a summary of the history and significance of conceptual, analog and numerical models of landscape evolution within the geosciences. Philosophical and practical considerations for numerical modeling of geomorphic, geodynamic, and climatic processes will be discussed. Students will develop and test numerical models of geomorphic settings of their choosing using Landlab - an open-source Python-based modeling environment. Students will also critique recent publications presenting numerical landscape evolution models. Experience with geomorphology, calculus, differential equations, and computer programming is recommended. Standard Letter Graded.
