| # Escarpment Retreat Evolution Teaching Dataset |
|
|
| This public dataset contains the precomputed display assets for an educational |
| web platform about fluvial-erosion-driven escarpment retreat. |
|
|
| ## Contents |
|
|
| - 81 MATLAB/TopoToolbox/TTLEM parameter scenarios |
| - 161 time steps per scenario from 0 to 32 Myr |
| - Corrected top-down plan views |
| - Fixed-perspective three-dimensional views |
| - Basin masks, river-profile data, knickpoints, and scenario metadata |
|
|
| The web release contains 39,368 files (approximately 2.41 GiB). |
|
|
| ## Render provenance |
|
|
| - Plan-view JPEGs come only from the final corrected |
| `plan-rerender-v3` rendering, with the plateau on the left and basin C |
| (yellow) above basin B (blue) and basin A (green). |
| - Perspective JPEGs come only from the accepted |
| `view-rerender-v2` rendering with 5x vertical exaggeration. |
| - The original high-quality PNG masters are retained offline and are not |
| replaced by this web dataset. |
| - File paths, byte sizes, and SHA-256 checksums are recorded in |
| `release/inventory.json`. |
|
|
| ## Intended use |
|
|
| The files are published to support the public classroom demonstration at the |
| Escarpment Evolution Lab website. They are model outputs rather than measured |
| terrain observations and must not be interpreted as a reconstruction of a |
| specific real landscape. |
|
|
| ## Software and attribution |
|
|
| The simulations were produced in MATLAB using TopoToolbox and TTLEM. Users |
| should cite the relevant TopoToolbox, TTLEM, and geomorphology literature when |
| reusing or discussing the model results. |
|
|
| No MATLAB source code, credentials, or private files are included in this |
| dataset repository. |
