This is a self-contained jupyter notebook This is a self-contained jupyter notebook using meander py. It is recommended the instructor introduces concepts of meandering rivers, and students read papers on meadner migration rate - i.e. the papers directly associated with the model. Students can run through the examples, and then assignments can be worked on plenary in a lab style class or as homework. </br>It is recommended that results are being discussed plenary after the completion of the exercises.ary after the completion of the exercises.  +

<p>Meanderpy is a Python package tha<p>Meanderpy is a Python package that implements a simple numerical model of meandering, the one described by Howard & Knutson in their 1984 paper "Sufficient Conditions for River Meandering: A Simulation Approach". </br>This is a kinematic model that is based on computing migration rate as the weighted sum of upstream curvatures; flow velocity does not enter the equation. Curvature is transformed into a 'nominal migration rate' through multiplication with a migration rate (or erodibility) constant; in the Howard and Knutson, 1984 paper this is a nonlinear relationship based on field observations that suggested a complex link between curvature and migration rate.</p></br></br><p>In the 'meanderpy' package we use this linear relationship between the nominal migration rate and curvature, as recent work using time-lapse satellite imagery suggests that high curvatures result in high migration rates (Sylvester et al., 2019).</p></br></br><p>You can read more about the model, find references at: https://csdms.colorado.edu/wiki/Model:Meanderpy.<p></br></br><p>There is a keynote lecture on the concepts behind this model that you can watch here: </br>https://csdms.colorado.edu/wiki/Presenters-0433</p>this model that you can watch here: https://csdms.colorado.edu/wiki/Presenters-0433</p>  +
Meanderpy uses a simple linear relationship between the nominal migration rate and curvature, as recent work using time-lapse satellite imagery suggests that high curvatures result in high migration rates.  +
