CSDMS 2022: Environmental Extremes and Earthscape Evolution
Clinic 3: Component Creation with Landlab
Abstract
This clinic explores how to fully engage with the Landlab library by creating your own components. It is designed for those who already have some basic familiarity with Landlab and with scientific Python programming (registration for the “Introduction to Landlab” is recommended for those who have not already learned the basics).. In this workshop we will cover an overview of object-oriented programming (OOP), and will look at several examples of existing Landlab components to understand how they are written in an OOP framework. We will write a demo component as a group, and will then move on to writing our own components in small groups.
Participants should come prepared with an idea of a process model they’d like to implement as a component. It is recommended, but not required, that participants in this workshop also register for the clinic “The Art of Modeling: From Concept to Math with Mass Balance,” in order to be equipped with an understanding of the math that will form the basis of their Landlab component.
This workshop will involve coding in Python using the CSDMS JupyterHub.
