Ann Anwei Thompson developed and validated a smoothed threshold parameter for the ErosionDeposition and SharedStreamPower components in the landlab/landlab repository, enabling a constant erosion threshold to improve model flexibility and accuracy in erosion-deposition simulations. She implemented this feature using Python, focusing on robust data modeling and clear documentation to support scientific computing needs. To ensure reliability, Ann designed and integrated a dedicated suite of Python-based unit tests that validated the new parameter under varied conditions, reducing the risk of regressions. Her work demonstrated depth in both feature development and maintainability, strengthening the reliability of core modeling components.
Month 2026-02: Key work centered on validating the new smooth_threshold parameter through dedicated tests for ErosionDeposition and SharedStreamPower in landlab/landlab. This delivered a focused test suite tied to the parameter, validated under varied conditions, and linked to commit 9af654331e23eb64637e889b6601eb1de7f9d44f to guard against regressions while enabling confident parameter changes. No major bugs fixed this month; the effort reinforces robustness and reduces downstream risk. Technologies leveraged include Python-based unit testing and maintainability-focused test design to improve reliability of modeling components.
