“…Examples include the integration of local vegetation processes with regional transport models for heavy metals (e.g. [27,28,29] for reviews and general methodological steps), or the local resources development with movement of animal species (e.g. [24] for review of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) used in spatial interactions and population dynamics, and [19] for an application using Geographic Information Systems (GIS)).…”

The presented work is part of a larger research program dealing with developing tools for coupling biogeochemical models in contaminated landscapes. The specific objective of this article is to provide the researchers a tool to build hexagonal raster using information from a rectangular raster data (e.g. GIS format), data porting. This tool involves a computational algorithm and an open source software (written in C). The method of extending the reticulated functions defined on 2D networks is an essential key of this algorithm and can also be used for other purposes than data porting. The algorithm allows one to build the hexagonal raster with a cell size independent from the geometry of the rectangular raster. The extended function is a bicubic spline which can exactly reconstruct polynomials up to degree three in each variable. We validate the method by analyzing errors in some theoretical case studies followed by other studies with real terrain elevation data. We also introduce and briefly present an iterative water routing method and use it for validation on a case with concrete terrain data.
