Simulation of fluvial and hillslope processes

The project uses landscape evolution modelling (Landlab) to simulate how uplift, fluvial erosion, and hillslope diffusion interact to shape idealised landscapes over time. By systematically varying uplift models and rates, fluvial erodibility, and hillslope diffusivity, the study explores landscape response, transient behaviour, and steady-state morphology. The results highlight how tectonic forcing and surface processes control drainage patterns, slope-area relationships, and long-term topographic form. The data visualisation and mapping related to the project is available in PDF format in this post.
