badlands

badlands is an advanced open-source Basin and Landscape Dynamics model designed for simulating complex earth surface processes. Hosted on GitHub, this Python-based framework offers geoscientists a powerful tool to explore how landscapes evolve over geological timescales.

The model incorporates various physical processes, including tectonics, climate, and erosion, allowing for the investigation of their intricate interactions in shaping terrain. It is particularly useful for reconstructing paleogeography and understanding the dynamics of watersheds and river morphology.

As a free and open-source software, badlands encourages community contributions and collaborative development. Its robust capabilities make it an essential resource for researchers in geology, geomorphology, and hydrology seeking to model and analyze long-term landscape changes.
