***General information***
 The dataset was obtained by hydro-sedimentary modelling of lake Turkana, simulated in the process-based modelling software Delft3D.
 Delft3D is an open source modelling package which simulates hydrodynamics, morphodynamics and sediment transport.

***Simulations***
The dataset contains the BaseWave simulation input files
All the input files required for simulations of the delta are provided, with boundary conditions included.

The model is run in parallel with run_parallel.bat
Modify the file path for your own machine.

***Output files***
 For the data presented in the paper, the associated files are provided in .mat format which can be opened in MATLAB.
