landlab 1.10.1

Plugin-based component modeling tool.

landlab

The Landlab project creates an environment in which scientists can build a numerical landscape model without having to code all of the individual components. Landscape models compute flows of mass, such as water, sediment, glacial ice, volcanic material, or landslide debris, across a gridded terrain surface. Landscape models have a number of commonalities, such as operating on a grid of points and routing material across the grid. Scientists who want to use a landscape model often build their own unique model from the ground up, re-coding the basic building blocks of their landscape model rather than taking advantage of codes that have already been written.

Two main installation options exist for Landlab. Most people will likely want to install the conda package. Individuals interested in modifying the Landlab source code should follow the developer installation instructions.

The most current source code is always available from our git repository:
