Peter Wilcock's Reference Documents for Cohesionless Transport

This is a set of references provided by Peter Wilcock, Ph.D. of John Hopkins.  I. Some Sediment Transport Books Blench, T., 1966, Mobile-bed Fluviology, T. Blench & Assoc., Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Bridge, John S., 2003, Rivers and Floodplains, Blackwell, 491 p. Chang, H., 1988.    Fluvial processes in river engineering, John Wiley, 432 p. Engelund, F. and Hansen, E., 1972, A Monograph on Sediment Transport in Alluvial Streams, Teknisk Forlag, Copenhagen. 62p. The nicest “little book” on sediment transport ever written Garcia, M.H. (ed.) 2008.    Sedimentation Engineering: Processes, Measurements, Modeling, and Practice, ASCE Manuals and Reports on Engineering Practice No. 110).  A staggering 3-in monster providing up-to-date information on a wide range of topics.    Alas, like any edited volume, some chapters are far better than others, some are rather narrow and uninspiring, and it does not achieve the consistent and authoritative voice of Vanoni (1975).
