GSoC 13 WR 12 - Hydrologically controlled landslides susceptibility tool for uDig

Hi mates!

I’m Marco and I am working on the development of a tool to assess susceptibility of hydrologically controlled shallow landslides.

The software will be based on the Ph.D. Thesis in Environmental Engineering by Lanni C. (2012) and will consist of a model available for use within the uDig/JGrass Spatial Toolbox

These are the tasks I’ve been doing during this third week:

• What did I do this week?

- This week I did added some functionalities to the main model. I could code and test functions to produce maps of changing psi (suction head) at soil-bedrock interface due to vertical infiltrations during simulated rainfall events.

Such maps are computed at 1-hour rainfall intervals until water table is developed across the whole catchment.

This week I also started the calculation of Concentration Time maps beginning from building maps of weighting factors such as cumulated soil thickness or cumulated slope along the flow paths.

• What will I be working on next week?

- Nothing new: I will keep implementing tool logic while updating test cases and keeping notes on the tool wiki ( https://bitbucket.org/mcfoi/jgrasstool-cislam/issues ) about relevant issues.

• Did I meet with any stumbling blocks?

- No.

Best regards,

Marco
