The Community Sediment Modeling System (CSMS) is a new Earth sciences initiative to develop a community‐built and freely available suite of integrated, ever‐improving software modules that predict the transport and accumulation of sediment in landscapes and sedimentary basins over a broad range of time and space scales. The initiative will allow sedimentary modelers from the geological, oceanographic, and engineering communities to determine the optimum algorithms, input parameters, feedback loops, and observations to better predict sedimentary processes and their products.
