north_carolina_hillslope_class_notebook

This notebook imports hillslope profile data collected by Karl Wegmann's geomorphology class at a state park near Raleigh, NC, USA. The students use the linear diffusion component in Landlab to estimate the diffusivity in this landscape given a background erosion rate. The students are then asked to think about recent landscape change due to European settlers, how this may have impacted their results and the landscape, and devise a modeling scenario to test their ideas. This notebook was created in collaboration with Karl Wegmann and NC State.
