Details |
|
|
Fluvial Erosion |
á Transport limited based on sediment diameter with tracking of diameter in eroded/deposited sediment and re-entrainment of eroded sediment. Detachment limitation on transport capacity. Sediment characteristics space varying (see Layers below). |
V8.30 |
|
|
á True sediment tracking for cosmogenic nuclide and pollutant tracking. |
Early 2006 |
|
Mass Movement |
á Nonlinear diffusive transport with Ahnert slope threshold. |
V8.30 |
|
|
á Event scale simulation of landslides and debris flows. |
2007 |
|
Climate |
á Incorporated through effective parameterisation of fluvial erosion that yields average annual erosion. Spatially variable rainfall. |
V8.30 |
|
|
á True climate input (known or stochastic). |
Mid 2006 |
|
Hydrology |
á Simple empirical regional flood frequency relationship, or runoff coefficient, based on area. |
V8.30 |
|
|
á Runoff event simulation based on input climate (see Climate above). |
Mid 2006 |
|
Soils |
á Generalised Heimsath model |
V8.30 |
|
Vegetation |
á Cover factor as per USDA erosion models |
V8.30 |
|
|
á Stochastic bushfire model for groundcover removal |
Mid 2006 |
|
Tectonics |
á Time and spatially varying vertical only uplift. |
V8.30 |
|
|
á Lateral strike/slipe and lateral deformation |
No |
|
Layers |
á Spatially varying layers of materials (e.g. geology strata, containment capping layers) with tracking of the movement of these materials by fluvial erosion |
V8.30 |
|
|
á Ditto for existing mass movement model. |
Mid 2006 |
|
|
á Dynamic management of layers of deposited materials and their characteristics |
V8.30 |
|
Computational |
á D8 and d´ drainage analysis on a square grid (canÕt do rectangular grid, for instance, SRTM data w/o regridding) |
V8.30 |
|
|
á Standards based (openMP, PVM) parallel processing on clusters and multiprocessor supercomputers |
Temporarily unavailable |
|
|
á Highly portable code (F95) |
V8.30 |
|
|
á Can be run with and w/o GUI interface (for batch processing) |
V8.30 |
|
|
á GIS like input of time and space varying capabilities (not ARC shape files) |
