| 117 | === Path sampling library for GRASS === |
| 118 | |
| 119 | * GRASS currently has two modules which use path sampling method for overland flow simulation and sediment transport modeling. An additional GRASS python module uses the method to simulate aeolian sand transport. |
| 120 | * The code in the modules is not well designed for further extensions so it will be useful to write a path sampling method library which would enable rapid and efficient development of modules for modeling surface and subsurface water and pollutant flow, water and aeolian sediment transport, fire spread and many other types of fluxes (including movement of people) in complex, spatially diverse environments. |
| 121 | * The library should support stationary and time dependent processes and provide a foundation for development of steered simulations. |
| 122 | * The output expected: |
| 123 | * library which offers the functionality for path sampling based modeling |
| 124 | * at least one module built with this library - for example a new, cleaner version of r.sim.water can be used as a test case. |
