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 Terrestrial 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 United States Email address cconnor@cas.usf.edu Phone 8139740325 Fax 8139742654 Name Laura Connor Type of contact Technical contact Institute / Organization Postal address 1 Postal address 2 Town / City Postal code State Country Email address Phone Fax Supported platforms Unix, Linux Other platform Programming language Fortran77, C Other program language Code optimized Single Processor Multiple processors implemented Nr of distributed processors Nr of shared processors Start year development 2001 Does model development still take place?
