MARSSIM
The MARSSIM model is a landform evolution model primarily focuses on relatively long temporal scales (relative to the timescale for noticeable landform change) through fluvial and mass wasting processes.
Model introduction
The program is designed be computationally efficient such that individual runs can be done on a modern microcomputer in no more than a few tens of hours. The more recent additions to the model have focused on processes relevant to planetary landscapes, including lava flows, groundwater seepage and sapping, impact cratering, surface-normal accretion and ablation, and volatile redistribution by radiation-induced sublimation and recondensation. Individual process formulations vary from completely heuristic to modestly mechanistic. Important limitations for some potential applications are the assumption of a single representative bed material grain size in the fluvial system and no tracking of internal stratigraphy of sedimentary deposits.
