- Third Party Resource Title: Finite Difference Modeling of Hillslope Diffusion
- Third Party Resource Link: https://serc.carleton.edu/matlab_computation2016/activities/159830.html
- Description: This activity introduces students to the finite difference solution of the hill-slope diffusion PDE. The students derive partial derivatives from Taylor Series expansions of the 2D topography function z(x,t). After deriving the finite difference solution to this PDE, students implement this solution in MATLAB to model hillslope evolution in time using constant material properties and time steps.
