| Model type | Single |
| Spatial dimensions | |
| Spatial extent | |
| Model domain | |
| One-line model description | Large scale SPM based on irregular spatial discretization |
| Extended model description | Makes use of fast Delaunay triangulation and Voronoi diagram calculations to represent surface processes on an irregular, dynamically evolving mesh. Processes include fluvial erosion, transport and deposition, hillslope (diffusion) processes, flexural isostasy, orographic precipitation. Designed to model processes at the orogenic scale. Can be easily modified for other purposes by changing process laws. |
