Description
This book selectively introduces current modelling research in hillslope and river channel processes. It provides a basis for both graduate and undergraduate students to see the potential range of modelling activity within these investigations and to appreciate the challenges which remain. Alternative modelling approaches, means of validating and verifying models, and the use of computer simulation are presented.
