-Supplementary code for *Sediment behavior controls equilibrium width of

-Glaciology.
+This repository contains supplementary code for *Sediment behavior controls

-This finite-difference example implementation will simulate the dynamics of a
-1d channel segment along a square-root ice geometry, with constant water
-pressure at the terminus.
+The finite-difference example implementation (`1d-channel.py`) simulates the
+dynamics of a 1d channel segment along a square-root ice geometry, with
+constant water pressure at the terminus. The channel is forced with constant
+water influx and evolves its geometry according to fluvial sediment transport,
+and plasticity-related limits to channel size.
