<p>Dear list,</p><p> I'm just announcing a major update to the GRASS addon r.landscape.evol developed by the MEDLAND team here at ASu. This update adds support and default dependancy on the new faster r.watershed. This means that r.landscape.evol is also much faster (trials showed ~53 seconds/iteration for input maps of ~1 million cells). Also, a new input variable and conversion algorithm has been added to explicitly convert erosion/sedimentation rates from mass/area to actual vertical meters of elevation change. This function finally allows for the removal of default dependancy on a neighborhood smoothing algorithm at each cycle, and therby also helps speed up the routine's runtime. Additionally, I have added an html help page which explains the workings of the module in great detail.</p>
<p>This will most likely be the last major update to the shell script version of this module, as I am now in the proces of recoding all LandDyn mosules into the Python language. If you are interested, please feel free to test the module and report your results to me. Any other comments are also greatly appreciated. </p>
<p></p><p>Cheers,</p><br>-- <br><br>Isaac I Ullah, M.A.<br><br>Archaeology PhD Student,<br>ASU School of Evolution and Social Change<br><br>Research Assistant,<br>Mediterranean Landscape Dynamics Project<br>***************************************************<br>
