Landlab CUAHSI Colloqium 2016 Workshop

A new paradigm in hydrologic and earth system modeling is emerging where complex systems once coded in Fortran, C++ and cryptic scripts developed for research are being reconfigured in Open Source Python component based systems. In this workshop, we will introduce participants to one example of how this new type of modeling system, Landlab, can be linked to CUAHSI resources, such as the Water Data Center for time series data and HydroShare to run models online, access model inputs, and publish outputs for research collaboration and public dissemination.

Participants will learn how Landlab, a Python-based modeling environment, allows building numerical landscape models of earth surface dynamics such as geomorphology, hydrology, ecohydrology, glaciology, and stratigraphy, and a rapidly expanding network of open source collaborators.
