Landlab is an open-source Python-language package for numerical modeling of Earth surface dynamics. It contains
In addition Landlab contains a set of Jupyter notebook tutorials providing an introduction to core concepts and examples of use.
Landlab was designed for disciplines that quantify Earth surface dynamics such as geomorphology, hydrology, glaciology, and stratigraphy. It can also be used in related fields. Scientists who use this type of model often build their own unique model from the ground up, re-coding the basic building blocks of their landscape model rather than taking advantage of codes that have already been written. Landlab saves practitioners from the need for this kind of re-invention by providing standardized components that they can re-use.

The Landlab package contains a directory, landlab/notebooks, with
Jupyter Notebooks describing core concepts and giving examples of using components.
The file landlab/notebooks/welcome.ipynb provides a table of contents to
the notebooks and is the recommended starting place.
Additionally, there are a set of notebooks curated to teach physical processes
located in the directory landlab/notebooks/teaching.
