Simulating Clastic Sedimentary Basins/Physical Fundamentals and Computing Procedures[edit]

By: Rudy L. Slingerland, K. Furlong and J. Harbaugh, Prentice Hall, Englewood Clifss, NJ, 1994

This textbook describes basic fundamental sedimentary processes and shows how to simplify these processes into quantitative models. Processes reach over a range of scales and time domains; i.e. landscape evolution to bedload transport. All FORTRAN routines can be accessed through the CSDMS model repository.
