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.

Glacio-Hydrological Modeling
First steps in modeling glacial evolution within the CMT Tool. We use the 'GC2DV0'model to evolve a glacier in the Animas valley, Colorado.

Modeling River-Delta Interactions
Explore river to delta interaction by coupling two models in the CMT Tool. We combine the 'Avulsion'model to mimick delta plain processes and combine this with the Coastline Evolution Model (CEM).

Sediment Supply Numerical Experiments
This lab investigates river sediment supply to the global ocean. We posted two versions: 1) a spreadsheet lab or 2) an advanced modeling lab using the HydroTrend Model to explore effects of climate changes on river fluxes. Both labs also look at the effect of humans on rivers: the building of a reservoir.

Landscape Evolution Numerical Experiments
Wei Luo
WILSIM: the Web-based Interactive Landform Simulation Model shows landscape evolves under different conditions. It allows you to look at the effects of landscape geometry, climate and tectonics and see how a river network develops over time. WILSIM runs through your internet browser and can be accessed here: WILSIM homepage.

Coastal Stratigraphy Numerical Experiments
Run a simple 2D barrier coast model. Focus is on exploration of the effects of external forcing factors, i.e. sediment supply and sea-level, on wave-dominated coasts and barrier islands. zip archive with model and notes
