LandscApe ProcesS modelling at mUlti-dimensions and Scales (LAPSUS)
LAPSUS is a multi-module dynamic landscape evolution model. Studied processes include overland erosion, landsliding, tillage erosion and tectonics.

One or more of these processes can be used in a user-defined modelling framework, depending on interest, data availability and landscape. Changes in the landscape by means of soil redistribution (erosion, landsliding, tillage) and altitude change (tectonics) are updated on an annual basis. The model is able to deal with sinks by virtually filling them with water and uses a novel algorithm to treat sedimentation in sinks. This is necessary because landscape processes can create depressions that must therefore be considered true representations of the landscape.
In the following sections we will regularly publish updates to the downloadable model and manual (expected 2012), as well as case studies from all parts of the world (Spain, Ecuador, South-Africa, Israel, New-Zealand, Turkey, Taiwan).
