Learning Module 1: Simulating the geomorphic impacts of extreme rainfall using Landlab

Chapter 0: Overview

Chapter 1: When it rains, it pours (sometimes)

  1. Analyze time series data from a tipping bucket rain gauge.
  2. Describe and compare storm properties.
  3. Simulate stochastic rainfall using a Landlab component.
  4. Explain how well historic events are captured by simulation.

Chapter 2: From rainfall to runoff

  1. Construct and interpret a model of surface water hydrology.
  2. Explain how root zone soil moisture evolves through time.
  3. Plan and execute a model that couples two Landlab components.
  4. Critique your hydrological model and modify it to route water.

Chapter 3: But will the hillside fail?

  1. Apply your model using Data Components to import topography.
  2. Explain how topography and water fluxes influence the Factor of Safety.
  3. Execute a dynamic model of soil moisture driven by stochastic rainfall.
  4. Analyze how the probability of hillside failure varies in space and time.

Chapter 4: Applying your new skills
