Models

Surface dynamics models are at the core of CSDMS. All community models that we list in the CSDMS repository are open source and as such can be downloaded and used. Find the right model for your research

Software wrapping standards

CSDMS has developed a simple interface standard called the Basic Model Interface or BMI that makes a plug-and-play model component from an existing numerical model. Software programmers are encouraged to use the BMI. Reed more about how you can implement a BMI at: BMI_Description

Standard Names

Models need to be able to share data in a plug-and-play world. Read more about how to properly implement standard names into your model.

Education

CSDMS has collected and developed educational material of numerical modeling over the years. This ranges from a collection of animations, to labs, lectures and textbook examples and even Science on a Sphere material. So start browsing the educational repository.
