ABSTRACT: Morphodynamic modeling involves fluid dynamics, geodynamics and ecodynamics with and
without human interaction. Scales are immense, whether the dimensions are time or space. Morphodynamic
models are ever increasing in the processes they incorporate, and in their dimensionality. Challenges facing
the morphodynamic modeling community include: upscaling, process coupling, model coupling, data systems,
high-performance computing, and model testing.
