I do hydrological models

Especially two:

GEOtop

JGrass-NewAGE

They are both unconventional

Two models/frameworks

1. Radiation

4. surface energy balance

- radiation - boundary-layer interaction

2. Water balance

- effective rainfall - surface flow (runoff and channel routing)

- distributed model - sky view factor, self and cast shadowing, slope, aspect, drainage

3. Snow-glaciers

- multilayer snow scheme

- soil temperature - freezing soil

5. soil energy balance

- multi-layer vegetation scheme - evapotranspiration

6 . v e g e t a t i o n interaction

GEOtop

I do tools for hydro-geomorphological analysis

GIS platforms and tools 4

British Society for Geomorphology Geomorphological Techniques, Chap. 2, Sec. 2.4 (2013)

provided in various scripting environments

(JavaScript and groovy) and is supported in

the uDig-scripting editor. In next sections,

some selected raster processing and

HortonMachine tools are described in detail.

Figure 1: uDig GIS interface with spatial toolbox overlay and the three tabs: inputs, outputs and

descriptions tabs at the bottom of the toolbox

2 Raster Processing

The Raster processing menu contains a set

of tools useful for the preparation of

topographic data for hydro-geomorphological

applications. Moreover, it contains tools for

quick manipulation of raster maps. Table 2

shows the lists of tools relevant for hydro-

geomorphological application.

Among the list of tools presented in table 2, a

useful program for advanced raster map

manipulation is the raster calculator

(MapCalc), which allows complex

calculations involving both numerical and

logical functions within the same statement.

A look to other stuff

Someone wants to join this modelling crew ?

Some one wants to share her/his data with us ?

Wha tI want to discuss

R. Rigon

Someone has ideas for projects where we can collaborate ?
