Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 135.
Modeling is no longer merely common in geomorphology, but pervasive, and the time is right for the community to take stock. What do we model and why? What are the advantages of different approaches? How do we evaluate whether a model is correct or even useful?
