摘要

Geomorphic investigations may benefit fromcomputermodelling approaches that rely entirely on self-organization principles. In the vast majority of numericalmodels, instead, points in space are characterized by a variety of physical variables (e.g. sediment transport rate, velocity, temperature) recalculated over time according to some predetermined set of laws. However, there is not always a satisfactory theoretical framework from which we can quantify the overall dynamics of the system. For these reasons, we prefer to concentrate on interaction patterns using a basic cellular automaton modelling framework. Here we present the Real-Space Cellular Automaton Laboratory (ReSCAL), a powerful and versatile generator of 3D stochastic models. The objective of this software suite, released under a GNU licence, is to develop interdisciplinary research collaboration to investigate the dynamics of complex systems. The models in ReSCAL are essentially constructed from a small number of discrete states distributed on a cellular grid. An elementary cell is a real-space representation of the physical environment and pairs of nearest-neighbour cells are called doublets. Each individual physical process is associated with a set of doublet transitions and characteristic transition rates. Using a modular approach, we can simulate and combine a wide range of physical processes. We then describe different ingredients of ReSCAL leading to applications in geomorphology: dunemorphodynamics and landscape evolution.We also discuss howReSCAL can be applied and developed across many disciplines in natural and human sciences
