The pioneering works of Strelkoff (1970) solving the open-channelflow equations, Ahnert (1976) modeling landform evolution, and Harbaugh et al. (1970) modeling sedimentary systems showed us what was possible. With the advent of personal computers in the 1980s the trend accelerated, and journals such as Computers and Geosciences, founded in 1976, were soon publishing over 100 computer codes a year. By the 1990s, the value of quantitative, modeldriven science in Earth-surface studies was so apparent that funding panels began to expect it in proposals. A new generation of scientists more comfortable with algorithmic computation and, in some cases, better trained in mathematics led to a flowering in geomorphology. Notewort
