Introduction
This document describes "field to landscape scale" modeling of selected
hydrologic and erosion processes based on
-
representation of input data as multivariate functions (as opposed to homogeneous
hillslope segments or subwatersheds),
-
simulations performed by solution of equations describing relevant physical
processes,
-
advanced multidimensional GIS support for storing, processing and visualizing
the data and results.
The concept, theory and some applications are described in the following papers,
proceedings,
and reports.
Methods
The following methods and tools support hydrologic and erosion modeling
within GIS at an increasing level of complexity and realism:
