The Community Surface Dynamics Modeling System (CSDMS) deals with the Earth's surface and the observable and projected changes constantly taking place. Based on the campus of the University of Colorado at Boulder, the CSDMS project involves a diverse community of experts promoting the modeling of earth surface processes by working with and developing integrated software modules that predict the erosion, transport, and deposition of sediment and solutes in landscapes and sedimentary basins.

In early 2007 James Syvitski, formerly the director of INSTAAR (Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, Boulder CO) and currently a professor at the University of Colorado in the Department of Geological Sciences, was awarded a multimillion-dollar cooperative agreement from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to coordinate this national effort and develop the CSDMS project.
