TopoToolbox Short-Course at the EGU2024

You are cordially invited to participate in our upcoming short course on the analysis of transient landscapes using TopoToolbox, to be held at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2024, Mon, 15 Apr, 16:15–18:00 (CEST), Room -2.61/62. If you are attending virtually, you’ll also be able to follow the course with Zoom. Here’s the session description:

Inferring climatic and tectonic processes from digital elevation models (DEMs) largely relies on the assumption that landscapes are in a steady state. However, transient landscapes, i.e., landscapes that undergo an adjustment to changing boundary conditions, contain information on geomorphic processes that – in combination with geomorphic transport laws – can be interrogated with digital terrain analysis and (spatial) statistics. This short course enables participants to learn methods and techniques implemented in TopoToolbox (https://topotoolbox.wordpress.com) to objectively infer rates of fluvial incision, knickpoint migration and divide migration in landscapes that experienced perturbations such as sudden changes in baselevel (e.g. by fault movements or sea level changes). Thereby, emphasis will we placed on parameter estimation, uncertainty propagation and quantification. Basic programming skills in MATLAB and experience with TopoToolbox are advantageous, but not strictly required.

In addition, if you are interested in our current efforts to bring TopoToolbox to the next level, i.e. version 3, please visit our poster, also on Monday, 15 Apr, 16:15–18:00 (CEST), Display time Monday, 15 Apr, 14:00–18:00 Hall X1, X1.137.

Looking forward to meeting you at EGU 2024!
