Abstract
This clinic provides a brief tutorial introduction to the theory and implementation of Landscape Evolution Modeling. Participants will have the opportunity to work with simple models in the TerrainBento package, which provides a set of models that are built on the Landlab library. Topics include grid representation, working with data fields, and using Landlab Components to create new integrated models.


To get to the clinic materials:

  • Load the notebooks in your Hub, just go to our GitHub page https://github.com/csdms/csdms2021_landlab_terrainbento
  • On that page, click the link under the agenda
  • Go to notebooks>landlab>Landlab_grids_csdms2021.ipynb for the landlab clinic
  • And to notebooks> landlab-terrainbento> Welcome_to_TerrainBento.ipynb for the terrainbento clinic. Note that for the terrainbento clinic, you will have to activate the TTBB kernel.

There is even more material in the folder to practice your skills further.

This clinic runs on the CSDMS JupyterHub. If you don't already have an account, follow the instructions to sign up at: https://csdms.colorado.edu/wiki/JupyterHub. Run the lab Notebook by clicking the "start" link under the Run online heading at the top of this page.
