Sediment Flux Modeling

Presents mathematical models for estimating and predicting sediment fluxes.
∗ Models provide sufficient detail and data to enable scientists in the field to reproduce the computations and use the models for understanding their own data.
∗ Provides computations directly applicable to developing modern water quality models.
∗ All models have been calibrated and verified using three large data sets.
