By: Gary Parker, E-book, 2007
This textbook focuses on sediment transport and river dynamics. It has been developed as an online teaching resource, it has power points for each chapter and associated Excel exercises. These are served at Gary Parker's ebook site, as well as on this site. Below we list the ebook chapters along with links to the source code used within each chapter. The source code for all of the chapters is also available in a single tar file.
