Labs
	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.
	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
File:Glaciallobes.png	Glacio-Hydrological Processes First steps in modeling glacial evolution within the CMT Tool. We use the 'GC2DV0'model to evolve a glacier in the Animas valley, Colorado. CMT Lab Description
	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 CMT Modeling Lab
	Sediment Supply to the Global Ocean Investigate river sediment supply to the ocean by 1) a spreadsheet lab or 2) an advanced modeling lab using the HydroTrend Model to explore 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 CMT Modeling Lab
	Stratigraphic Modeling with Sedflux SedFlux builds stratigraphy by combining fluvial processes, plume dynamics, ocean waves and many more. This lab teaches you about Sedflux 2d and 3d and gets you started building simulations. Introduction presentation and the Sedflux CMT Modeling Lab
	Landscape Evolution Experiments WILSIM by Wei Luo is the Web-based Interactive Landform Simulation Model. It shows landscape evolves under different conditions. Look at the effects of landscape geometry, climate and tectonics and see how a river network develops over time. WILSIM runs through your browser here: WILSIM homepage.
	Coastal Stratigraphy 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
	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.
