Abstract
The morphology of rivers, estuaries and coasts is the result of a randomly forced multi-scale nonlinear process. Its prediction at spatial and temporal scales which are much larger than those of the underlying water and sediment motion is rather non-trivial. The paper discusses a strategy to develop a predictive model system which can handle the variety of scales.
