Numerical model code and input files to run landscape evolution models with strike-slip faulting and measure channel offsets

This repository contains codes and input files necessary to reproduce the simulations and analyze output presented in the manuscript: Offset channels do not accurately record strike-slip fault displacement: Evidence from landscape evolution models by Nadine G. Reitman, Karl J. Mueller, Gregory E. Tucker, Ryan D. Gold, Richard W. Briggs, and Katherine R. Barnhart. Please cite the above manuscript as well as this Zenodo repository when using these codes.
