Module rockflow
This module extends the ice flow beyond glaciated areas by assigning a constant speed and along-slope flow direction. It is designed to track rock-like particles (using the particles module) in both ice-free and ice-covered regions. Particles are either advected at a constant speed (controlled by the parameter processes.rockflow.speed) following the steepest gradient of the ice-free terrain in 2D or transported by ice flow in 3D.
