Incorporated models or components:

Spatial dimensions	2D
Spatial extent	Regional-Scale, Landscape-Scale, Watershed-Scale
Model domain	Climate, Hydrology, Terrestrial
One-line model description	Basin and landscape dynamics
Extended model description	Basin and Landscape Dynamics (Badlands) is a parallel TIN-based landscape evolution model, built to simulate topography development at various space and time scales. The model is presently capable of simulating hillslope processes (linear diffusion), fluvial incision ('modified' SPL: erosion/transport/deposition), spatially and temporally varying geodynamic (horizontal + vertical displacements) and climatic forces which can be used to simulate changes in base level, as well as effects of climate changes or sea-level fluctuations.

Describe processes represented by the model	Basin and Landscape Dynamics (Badlands) is a parallel TIN-based landscape evolution model, built to simulate topography development at various space and time scales. The model is presently capable of simulating hillslope processes (linear diffusion), fluvial incision ('modified' SPL: erosion/transport/deposition), spatially and temporally varying geodynamic (horizontal + vertical displacements) and climatic forces which can be used to simulate changes in base level, as well as effects of climate changes or sea-level fluctuations.
Describe key physical parameters and equations	The model is mainly written in fortran and is based on the following characteristics: - The finite volume approach from Tucker et al. (2001) based on the dual Delaunay-Voronoi framework is used to solve the continuity equation explicitly, - Node ordering is perform efficiently based on the work from Braun & Willett (2013), - A Hilbert Space-Filling Curve method algorithm (Zoltan) is used to partition the TIN-based surface into subdomains, - Drainage network partitioning is generated through METIS library.
Describe length scale and resolution constraints	catchment to continental scale
Describe time scale and resolution constraints	thousands to millions of years
Describe any numerical limitations and issues	A compilation of examples and documentation can be found in this Badlands-doc GitHub repository (http://github.com/badlands-model/Badlands-doc).

Describe available calibration data sets	examples provided along with the documentation http://github.com/badlands-model/Badlands-doc/releases
Upload calibration data sets if available:
