Metadata

Also known as	terrainbento
Model type	Modular
Model part of larger framework	LandLab
Note on status model	Updated for Landlab v2.8.0 and Python 3.12
Date note status model	2024-09-12

Incorporated models or components:

Spatial dimensions	2D
Spatial extent	Regional-Scale, Landscape-Scale, Watershed-Scale
Model domain	Terrestrial
One-line model description	A Python package for multi-model analysis in long-term drainage basin evolution
Extended model description	Terrainbento is a Python package for modeling the evolution of the surface of the Earth over geologic time (e.g., thousands to millions of years). Despite many decades of effort by the geomorphology community, there is no one established governing equation for the evolution of topography. Terrainbento thus provides 28 alternative models that support hypothesis testing and multi-model analysis in landscape evolution.
