PermafrostBankErosionModel

Also known as
Model type	Single
Model part of larger framework
Note on status model
Date note status model

Incorporated models or components:

Spatial dimensions	2D
Spatial extent	Reach-Scale
Model domain	Terrestrial, Hydrology
One-line model description	The PermafrostBankErosionModel is a model simulating thermal–mechanical riverbank erosion in permafrost environments.
Extended model description	The PermafrostBankErosionModel is a Python-based simulation module for modeling riverbank erosion in permafrost-dominated environments, where thermal and mechanical processes interact seasonally. The model simulates river bank ablation and collapse under fluvial and thermal forcing.

Keywords:	Riverbank erosion, Permafrost dominated rivers,
