"Addresses the problem of mathematically modeling the processes in sediments that determine the extent to which materials that settle to the sediment are recycled to the water column." (SciTech Book News Vol. 25, No. 2 June 2001) "...the definitive text on the subject and deserves a place in any respectable environmental library." (SETAC Globe, Vol. 2, No. 5, September/October 2001) "...an important addition to the literature...a comprehensive treatise of sediment flux models." (Soil Science, Vol. 168, No. 1, January 2003)
