Quantitative modeling of earth surface processes

"This textbook describes some of the most effective and straightforward quantitative techniques for modeling Earth surface processes. By emphasizing a core set of equations and solution techniques, this book presents state-of-the-art models currently employed in Earth surface process research, as well as a set of simple but practical tools that can be used to tackle unsolved research problems." "Assuming some knowledge of calculus and basic programming experience, this quantitative textbook is designed for advanced geomorphology courses and as a reference book for professional researchers in Earth and planetary sciences looking for a quantitative approach to Earth surface processes."--Jacket.
