Long Term Hillslope and Fluvial System Modelling: Concepts and Case Studies from the Rhine River Catchment (Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 2003Paperback - Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 2003, 3 October 2013

This volume presents a collection of papers given at a Rhine-LUCIFS (Land use and climate impact on fluvial systems), the aim being to bring together researchers with longstanding experience in developing concepts and modelling approaches for long term landscape evolution and scientists involved in more classical studies on the evolution of the Rhine river system. It is divided into two parts: part one reviews the Rhine river system and gives case studies to demonstrate the types of data that can be extracted from sedimentary archives. Part two provides a state of the art review on concepts for fluvial system research, as well as modelling the components of large river basins, written by leading European scientists in this field.
