Landlab

What does Landlab do?
Landlab is an open-source Python-language package for numerical modeling of
Earth surface dynamics. It contains

A gridding engine which represents the model domain. Regular and irregular
grids are supported.
A library of process components, each of which represents a physical process
(e.g., generation of rain, erosion by flowing water). These components have
a common interface and can be combined based on a user’s needs.
Utilities that support general numerical methods, file input/output, and
visualization.

In addition Landlab contains a set of Jupyter notebook tutorials providing
an introduction to core concepts and examples of use.
Landlab was designed for disciplines that quantify Earth surface dynamics such
as geomorphology, hydrology, glaciology, and stratigraphy. It can also be used
in related fields. Scientists who use this type of 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. Landlab saves practitioners from the need for this kind
of re-invention by providing standardized components that they can re-use.

in your terminal of choice:
$ pip install landlab
For a full description of how to install Landlab, including using mamba/conda,
please see the documentation for our installation instructions.


Source code
If you would like to modify or contribute code to Landlab or use the very latest
development version, please see the documentation that describes how to
install landlab from source.


Are there any examples of using Landlab I can look at?
The Landlab package contains a directory, landlab/notebooks, with
Jupyter Notebooks describing core concepts and giving examples of using components.
The file landlab/notebooks/welcome.ipynb provides a table of contents to
the notebooks and is the recommended starting place.
Additionally, there are a set of notebooks curated to teach physical processes
located in the directory landlab/notebooks/teaching.

Run on Binder

Run on EarthscapeHub
The Landlab notebooks can also be run on EarthscapeHub.

Explore the example notebooks on the
lab or jupyter Hub instance.
Or, use the teaching notebooks on the
lab or jupyter Hub instance.
Be sure to run all notebooks with the CSDMS kernel.

Contact
The recommended way to contact the Landlab team is with a
GitHub Issue.

Bug reports: Please make an Issue describing the bug so we can address it, or work
with you to address it. Please try to provide a minimal, reproducible example.
Documentation: If something in our documentation is not clear to you, please make an
issue describing the what isn’t clear. Someone will tag
the most appropriate member of the core Landlab team. We will work to clarify
your question and revise the documentation so that it is clear for the next user.
