Labs
	Get Started with WMT This tutorial teaches you how to use CSDMS Web Modeling Tool; it is focused on how to use the WMT software. WMT_tutorial
	Visualize NetCDF Output from WMT This tutorial teaches you how to visualize output from CSDMS Web Modeling Tool; it shows examples of NetCDF output and how to plot them in Panoply . Visualize NetCDF Output from WMT
	Sediment Supply to the Global Ocean Investigate river sediment supply to the ocean by exploring the effects of climate changes on river fluxes. We also look at the effect of humans on rivers: the building of a reservoir. Spreadsheet Lab or the HydroTrend Modeling with WMT
	Future Sediment Flux of the Ganges River Investigate river sediment supply of the monsoon-driven Ganges River. Exploring the effects of future climate changes. We validate model against observations and discuss uncertainty. Ganges Modeling with WMT
	Modeling River Plumes Riverwater and its suspended sediments will form a hypopycnal sediment plume. We will use a component called PLUME to investigate the behavior of these sediment plumes. Plume Modeling with WMT
	Hydrological Processes These spreadsheet exercises for undergraduate students explore the main components of the water balance: precipitation, evaporation and infiltration. Excercise on Evaporation Excercise on Infiltration
	Sinking Deltas Deltas experience rapid sea level rise. These spreadsheet exercises explore thermal expansion, global sea-level rise and local relative sea-level rise and its causes in selected major deltas. For undergraduate level classes. Notes for students and instructors and spreadsheet excercise
	Flow Routing Learn about flow routing over a landscape and basic algorithms for numerical modeling of combined hillslope and river sediment transport processes. Excercise on flow routing
	River-Delta Interactions Explore coastal processes by 1) a spreadsheet lab or 2) an advanced modeling lab using the CEM model. We look at the effects of waves and river avulson on the coastline. Spreadsheet Lab or the CEM WMT modeling|
	Stratigraphic Modeling with Sedflux2D SedFlux builds stratigraphy by combining fluvial processes, plume dynamics, ocean waves and many more. This lab teaches you about Sedflux 2d and gets you started building 2D profile simulations of sea level change. Stratigraphy Modeling in 2Dwith WMT
	Stratigraphic Modeling with Sedflux3D SedFlux builds stratigraphy by combining fluvial processes, plume dynamics,avulsion, compaction and many more. This lab teaches you about Sedflux 3d and gets you started with sea level change and avulsions. Stratigraphy Modeling in 3D with WMT
	Landscape Evolution Experiments WILSIM is a Web-based Interactive Landform Simulation Model. Look at the effects of landscape geometry, climate and tectonics and see how the Grand Canyon forms over time. WILSIM runs through your browser here
	Coastal Engineering Experiments Explore waves, surge, tides and sediment transport with hands-on exercises and simple model visualizations. Find them here Coastal Processes Toolbox of Tony Dalrymple
	Simple Sediment Transport Models Here we are collecting sediment transport modeling exercises These are coded up in Matlab, for a graduate level class during Spring Semester 2012.
	Landscape Evolution Modeling with CHILD, Part 1 Introduction to landscape evolution modeling with CHILD in WMT. Part 1 covers continuity of mass and discretization, and gravitational hillslope transport. Matlab is required to visualize the model output.
	Landscape Evolution Modeling with CHILD, Part 2 Introduction to landscape evolution modeling with CHILD in WMT. Part 2 covers rainfall, runoff and drainage networks and hydraulic geometry. Matlab is required to visualize the model output.
	Landscape Evolution Modeling with CHILD, Part 3 More landscape evolution modeling with CHILD in WMT. Part 3 covers erosion and transport by running water, multiple grain sizes, and the Ten Commandments of Landscape Evolution Modeling. Matlab is required to visualize the model output.
	'River Dynamics and Vegetation labs	K6-12 and Undergraduates These are lectures and hands-on labs for K6-12 classrooms. Labs look at the complex interactions of the biosphere and hydrosphere. Vegetation influence river dynamics during floods Materials are posted here .
	Earth Science Models for K6-12 The PhET project at CU Boulder has built numerous interactive simulations to which CSDMS scientists contribute. These are for K6-12 classrooms! PhET Earth Science simulations are found here.
