sketch Badlands

Basin and Landscape Dynamics (Badlands) is a long-term surface evolution model built to simulate landscape development, sediment transport and sedimentary basins formation from upstream regions down to marine environments.

This program is a free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

What’s in the box?

Badlands is an open-source Python-based code and can be used to simulate:

  • hillslope processes (linear & non-linear diffusion),
  • fluvial incision (Stream Power Law, Transport Capacity Law)
  • sediment transport and deposition,
  • wave-induced longshore drift transport,
  • reef growth and carbonate platform formation,
  • submarine gravity currents (turbidity currents),
  • spatially and temporally varying tectonic (horizontal + vertical displacements) and
  • effects of climate changes (rainfall) and/or sea-level fluctuations.
