PhD Thesis

Here you can either view and download my thesis in its entirety, or due to the large file size I have also broken it down into a number of smaller pieces for quicker (relatively) web viewing. For an overview of the research on Uncertainty in Morphological Sediment Budgeting of Rivers presented in the thesis, see here. The full citation is:
