Summary Contact Technical specs In/Output Process Testing Other Component info Also known as Model type Tool Model part of larger framework Note on status model Date note status model Spatial dimensions 1D Spatial extent Model domain One-line model description A simple parallel code to demonstrate diffusion Extended model description Finite difference approximations are great for modeling the erosion of landscapes. A paper by Densmore, Ellis, and Anderson provides details on application of landscape evolution models to the Basin and Range (USA) using complex rulesets that include landslides, tectonic displacements, and physically-based algorithms for hillslope sediment transport and fluvial transport. The solution given here is greatly simplified, only including the 1D approximation of the diffusion equation. The parallel development of the code is meant to be used as a class exercise Keywords: landscape evolution, Name Chuck Connor Type of contact Model developer Institute / Organization University of South Florida Postal address 1 Dept of Geology, SCA 528 Postal address 2 4202 E Fowler Ave Town / City Tampa Postal code 33620 State Florida Country USA"USA" is not in the list (Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, ...) of allowed values for the "Country" property.
