Staff Research Highlight - A dynamic meshing scheme for integrated hydrologic modeling to represent evolving landscapes

We’re pleased to highlight this publication which introduces a novel dynamic meshing scheme for integrated hydrologic modelling to better represent evolving landscapes. The approach addresses a major challenge in modelling human-altered environments, particularly in regions undergoing rapid changes such as open-pit mining sites, land reclamation zones, or urban developments. Traditional hydrologic models often rely on static mesh geometries, limiting their ability to capture changes in topography and subsurface structure over time. This research proposes a more flexible, adaptive framework capable of simulating surface and subsurface hydrologic responses to complex engineering activities.
