How to Learn SELES

Self-directed tutorials (free)

Self-directed tutorial information on basic SELES modelling and usage concepts is freely available.

Feedback and active participation are essential to ensure that this tutorial information evolves in a practical and useful manner.

Each module contains presentation material (in PDF format). Modules 3 and after require that SELES and LSEditor are installed, and that the tutorial models are downloaded and set up. All refer to the user documentation included with the download.

• Module 1: Overview
• Module 2: SELES modelling paradigm of landscape events
• Module 3: SELES user interface (a GIS perspective)
• Module 4: SELES scripts (a driver perspective)
• Module 5: Reading and understanding SELES models (a mechanic perspective)
• Module 6: Landscape event properties
• Module 7: Case Study on building models with SELES (a constructor perspective)
  
  
• Tutorial models (simply download and unzip; ~4 Mb)
