This repository contains a modified version of badlands code that simulates erosion, deposition and detrital 10Be transfer in source-to-sink sedimentary system.

The modified version of the code is available in the badlands folder, available pre- and post-processing functions to extract data from specific rock types and to compute their isotopic signatures are provided in the badlands-companion folder. Finally, a series of jupyter notebooks that illustrates how these new developments could be used are provided in the Alps folder.

Installation

Easiest approach to install this version of badlands consists in downloading the repository from GitHub and use Anaconda.

Once downloaded, go to the folder from the terminal and use the command below:

conda env create --file environment.yml

Once the environment has been succesfully installed, activate it:

conda activate badlandsBe

Then install the new developments by doing:

 cd badlands-companion
 python3 setup.py install --user

and

 cd ../badlands
 python3 setup.py install --user

You are done!

Testing the code on the Var River catchment (Southern French Alps) source-to-sink sedimentary system

In a terminal, activate the badlandsBe conda environment:

conda activate badlandsBe

then launch the Jupyter environment:

jupyter notebook

In Jupyter, go to the Alps folder and run the provided notebooks.
