New EKT Lab: Alternative mesh generation for Landlab

[elbeejay]

Summary

I prepared a few notebooks that use the mesh generator dmsh, and the mesh generator from Anuga to create unstructured grids that are passed into Landlab. Examples contain code for creating Landlab models using these other mesh generators as a starting point. Only the flow accumulation and drainage area components are demo'd, but there are many other questions one might want to ask about the influence of cell resolution (and local cell resolution) on different landscape evolution processes. I thought this could make for an interesting/thought-provoking ETK lab, but I welcome any disagreement or differing opinions.

@elbeejay This is awesome, Jay! I'll check with Irina (I'm sure it'll be fine), then I'll set up an EKT lab. I may ask you for some additional explanatory prose for the lab page. Feel free to email me directly if you have any questions or comments.

@elbeejay I've completed a first pass at a lab page: https://csdms.colorado.edu/wiki/Lab-0020. Please feel free to edit it (and let me know if you can't). Change anything you'd like.

Because of its dependencies, I'll add it to the CSDMS JupyterHub in a separate kernel. I'm going to hold off until the end of the semester to do this, though.

Thanks Mark, it looks great! I added some references for the various software packages but otherwise I think that covers the gist of it.

👍 Let me know if there's any way I can help with setting that up.

That sounds good Mark. My students need to turn in reports on the 10th (Thursday this week). Allow for one or two days of emergency modeling and we would be good to reform after that. Irina
