    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 ...
