Introduction to hydrologic model calibration part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2019:Activities
Matin Rahnamay Naeini, University of California-Irvine
In this exercise, we introduce the concept of model calibration for rainfall-runoff models. We specifically employ a synthetic precipitation data as input to the hydrologic model to generate synthetic runoff. The ...

Computational Inquiry into a Hillslope Surface Model part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2016:Teaching Activities
Risa Madoff, University of North Dakota-Main Campus
By using (x, y, z) data imported from repeat scans of a terrestrial LiDAR, students learn how to conceptualize a natural surface by using MATLAB to model it and to model change. Because the model has a real ...
