Summary Contact Technical specs In/Output Process Testing Other Component info Also known as Model type Single Model part of larger framework Note on status model Date note status model Incorporated models or components: Spatial dimensions 2D Spatial extent Watershed-Scale, Reach-Scale Model domain One-line model description This is a two-dimensional numerical model that computes the topographic evolution of the facet slope in the footwall of an active normal fault. Extended model description [[Extended model description::The code computes the formation of a hillslope profile above an active normal fault. It represents the hillslope as a set of points with vertical and horizontal (fault-perpendicular) coordinates. Points move due to a prescribed erosion rate (which may vary in time) and due to offset during earthquakes with a specified recurrence interval and slip rate. The model is described and illustrated in the following journal article: Tucker, G. E., S. W. McCoy, A. C. Whittaker, G. P. Roberts, S. T. Lancaster, and R. Phillips (2011), Geomorphic significance of postglacial bedrock scarps on normal-fault footwalls, J. Geophys. Res., 116, F01022, doi:10.1029/2010JF001861.]] Keywords: fault, erosion, hillslope, facet, spur, scarp, , Name Greg Tucker Type of contact Model developer Institute / Organization Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) Postal address 1 Campus Box 399 Postal address 2 University of Colorado Town / City Boulder Postal code 80309 State Colorado Country United States Email address gtucker@colorado.edu Phone +1 303 492 6985 Fax +1 303 492 2606 Supported platforms Unix, Linux, Mac OS Other platform Programming language Python Other program language Code optimized Single Processor Multiple processors implemented Nr of distributed processors Nr of shared processors Start year development 2010 Does model development still take place?
