van Genuchten θ(ψ), effective saturation S_e, Mualem K(θ), field capacity, wilting point, and plant-available water.
Glacier Flow 1D (Glen’s Law)
Shallow-ice thickness H(x,t) on a tilted bed: nonlinear flux q ∝ H^{n+2}|∂s/∂x|^{n−1}∂s/∂x plus accumulation; τ_b ≈ ρgH sinα readout.
River Meandering (Toy)
Pinned centerline y(x,t): toy migration ∂y/∂t ≈ k₁ ∂κ/∂s + λ y_xx with κ ≈ y_xx — bend sharpening cartoon, not full sediment hydraulics.
