Software

As part of my work, I develop open-source models and tools for surface processes research. Some of this work involves deriving new model equations, and some is simply coding up models published by others. All of my modeling work is made publicly available using open-source licenses; please see the referenced papers for code repositories. All Landlab components may be found here.

  • Model calibration and application: Erosion of reclaimed coal mines (Shobe et al., 2024 and Bower et al., 2024)
  • Standalone model: Nonlocal offshore sediment transport (Shobe et al., 2022)
  • Landlab component (also now incorporated into TopoToolbox): HyLands, a model for simulating rivers, landslides, and their interactions (Campforts et al., 2020 and 2022)
  • Model calibration and application: Erosion forecasting with uncertainty partitioning (Barnhart et al., 2020a, b, and c)
  • Standalone model: BlockLab river canyon evolution model (Glade, Shobe, et al., 2019). Developed in collaboration with Rachel Glade, Bob Anderson, and Greg Tucker. The model is archived on Github.
  • Model analysis toolkit: terrainbento (Barnhart et al., 2019). Developed and written in collaboration with Katy Barnhart, Rachel Glade, and Greg Tucker. Find it at terrainbento.readthedocs.io.
  • Standalone model: Blocky River and Knickpoint Evolution (BRaKE) model (Shobe et al., 2016; Shobe et al., 2018). Developed and written in collaboration with Greg Tucker; applied in collaboration with Bob Anderson and Matt Rossi. The model is archived in the CSDMS model repository.
  • Landlab component: Stream Power with Alluvium Conservation and Entrainment (SPACE) model (Shobe et al., 2017). Developed and written in collaboration with Greg Tucker and Katy Barnhart. The latest version is always available on GitHub.
  • Landlab component: Erosion/deposition river evolution model (Davy and Lague, 2009). Written in collaboration with Greg Tucker and Katy Barnhart. The latest version is always available on GitHub.
  • Landlab component: Drainage density calculation tool (Tucker et al., 2001). Written in collaboration with Greg Tucker and the Landlab team. The latest version is always available on GitHub.
