Computer based landscape evolution models have been developed and used to better understand the natural environment as well as disturbed and degraded systems. Models such as SIBERIA have led to unprecedented insights into natural systems but also provided a springboard for new models and modelling approaches.

The recent development of ‘soilscape’ models that include landscape evolution as well as surface grading, armour development and soil evolution provide the ability to not just look at the surface but subsurface evolution as well. Landscape evolution and soilscape models are now routinely used by a scientists and engineers across a wide range of environments. However, these models require complex inputs as well as tools to evaluate their predictions.

This session will focus on past, current and future methodology and applications of landscape and soilscape evolution models. Contributions providing broad synopsis of the field are also highly welcomed.
