Community Surface Dynamics Modeling System

CSDMS is a virtual home for a vibrant and growing community of about 1,000 international modeling experts and students who study the dynamic interactions of lithosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, and atmosphere at Earth’s surface. Participating in cross-disciplinary groups, members develop integrated software modules that predict the movement of water, sediment, and nutrients across landscapes and into the ocean. We share an open library of models, software, and access to high-performance computing. We also share knowledge that helps create higher-resolution simulations, often involving higher complexity algorithms. Together, we support the discovery, use, and conservation of natural resources; mitigation of natural hazards; geotechnical support of commercial and infrastructure development; environmental stewardship; and terrestrial surveillance for global security.

CSDMS是一个充满活力且持续成长的国际建模专家与学生的虚拟聚集地，成员数量约为1,000人。这些成员致力于研究地球表面岩石圈、水圈、冰冻圈和大气圈之间的动态相互作用。通过参与跨学科小组，成员们共同开发集成的软件模块，以预测水分、沉积物和营养物质在景观和海洋中的迁移。我们共享一个开放的模型、软件和高性能计算访问权限的库。此外，我们还共享有助于创建更高分辨率模拟的知识，这些模拟通常涉及更高复杂度的算法。我们共同支持自然资源的发现、利用与保护；自然灾害的缓解；商业和基础设施建设的技术支持；环境管理；以及为全球安全进行的陆地监视。
