Plots profiles of river long profiles and their terraces; may eventually fit ancient long profiles to the terraces. Uses outputs from the terrace detection code in LSDTopoTools.

For more details of how the terrace code works then see Clubb et al. (2017):

Clubb, F.J., Mudd, S.M., Milodowski, D.T., Valters, D.A., Slater, L.J., Hurst, M.D., and Limaye, A.B. (2017) Geomorphometric delineation of floodplains and terraces from objectively defined topographic thresholds, Earth Surface Dynamics, doi:10.5194/esurf-2017-21

I recommend that you run this code using an Anaconda/Miniconda distribution. You need to create an environment which will have all the necessary packages to run the code. I have provided an environment.yml file which you can use to create the environment.

If you are using a Linux system you can do this natively. I will assume you have Anaconda/Miniconda installed with Python 3.7.

First, clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/umn-earth-surface/terrace-long-profiler.git

Then navigate to the terrace long profiler directory and create the environment:

cd terrace-long-profiler
conda env create -f environment.yml

This will create an environment called terraces with all the necessary packages installed. You can activate and deactivate this environment with:

conda activate terraces
conda deactivate terraces
