TREX: Two-Dimensional Runoff Erosion and Export
Spatially Distributed Model To Assess Watershed Hydrology, Sediment Transport, and Contaminant Transport and Fate
TREX (as well as CASC2D and CASC2D-SED before it) has been used for projects within the U.S. and internationally. A number of very interesting and informative applications have also been developed by research groups working independently of, or sometimes in collaboration with, the TREX development team to create entirely new models that address environmental problems in ever more diverse conditions and settings. The list of projects where TREX has been used or adapted for other purposes includes:
