AgrTerrModel: Agricultural Terraces Model
Project description
The AgrTerrModel is a coupled LEM-ABM that improves landscape evolution modeling of terraced regions by including human decisions related to agricultural terraces. The AgrTerrModel also modifies LEM parameters to reflect changes to geomorphic processes by terracing, such as reduced runoff due to increased infiltration on terraces.
Objectives
1. Improved landscape evolution modeling of terraced regions. 2. Explore the role of human decisions in the evolution of terraced landscapes by coupling an LEM with an ABM.
Time-line
2015-2017
Models in use
LEM-part of the model is implemented using Landlab, while the ABM-part is based on Mesa library.
