Dynamic & Transformative

The Surface Dynamics Modeling Lab (SDML) strives to improve scientific understanding of planetary surface processes and dynamics through design and utilization of state-of-the-science numerical models. In order to address the immense complexity of surficial systems, our research spans across spatial and temporal scales and scientific disciplines.
