The Gravitational Process Path (GPP) model (v1.0) – a GIS-based simulation framework for gravitational processes
The Gravitational Process Path (GPP) model can be used to simulate the process path and run-out area of gravitational processes based on a digital terrain model (DTM). The conceptual model combines several components (process path, run-out length, sink filling and material deposition) to simulate...

description |
The Gravitational Process Path (GPP) model can be used to simulate the process
path and run-out area of gravitational processes based on a digital terrain
model (DTM). The conceptual model combines several components (process path,
run-out length, sink filling and material deposition) to simulate the
movement of a mass point from an initiation site to the deposition area. For
each component several modeling approaches are provided, which makes the tool
configurable for different processes such as rockfall, debris flows or snow
avalanches. The tool can be applied to regional-scale studies such as natural
hazard susceptibility mapping but also contains components for scenario-based
modeling of single events. Both the modeling approaches and precursor
implementations of the tool have proven their applicability in numerous
studies, also including geomorphological research questions such as the
delineation of sediment cascades or the study of process connectivity. This
is the first open-source implementation, completely re-written, extended and
improved in many ways. The tool has been committed to the main repository of
the System for Automated Geoscientific Analyses (SAGA) and thus will be
available with every SAGA release. |
