Harmonic tidal predictions along the Belgian Coast
The classical harmonic tidal prediction model has been applied to the Belgian coast. To date 3 models have been set up, the similarities in the programmes of the 3 models are mainly related to the calculation of the equilibrium phases
able to make its own tidal predictions for the Belgian coast.

The paper discusses the application of the rational formula for design flood prediction in ungauged natural basins. There has been specified method for effective design storm intensity determination in function of the concentration time in the basin
Comparison of spatial prediction methods for mapping floodplain soil pollution
of the interpolation techniques used is based on the correlation between predicted and observed values at 99 test locations and on the spatial distribution of prediction errors.
Predicting aeolian sand transport : revisiting the White model
dimensionally correct and it yields predictions that appear reasonable in comparison with both the predictions of other models and with field data. The incorrect expression has come to be identified as a distinct model. However, the correct formulation
Nonlinear determinism in river flow : prediction as a possible indicator
This study addresses the issue of nonlinear determinism in river flow series using prediction as a possible indicator. First, a brief account of the nonlinear local approximation method and the inverse approach to identify nonlinear determinism
is presented. Next, a review of the studies that have attempted river flow predictions using the nonlinear deterministic method is provided, followed by a discussion on the presence of nonlinear determinism through the inverse approach. Conclusions and scope
Discharge prediction requires observed time series for all involved parameters. In a mountainous environment the problem is complicated by such factors as a complex morphology and the lack of measurements. Presently, prediction achieved
by statistical methods is operational. Short-term prediction (several hours-2days) is made for all watersheds and long-term prediction (1-6months) only for snow-covered or glaciated ones.
A comparison of methods to predict soil surface texture in an alluvial basin
Surface soil texture controls many important ecological, hydrological, and geomorphic processes in arid regions and is therefore important from a land-management perspective. This article compares several different predictive soil-mapping techniques
with a sparse dataset in order to develop surficial soil texture maps. The results suggest that data collected at the landscape scale can be used as input to predictive soil-mapping techniques to create maps of soil texture at higher fidelity and a fraction

Prediction of tension crack location and riverbank erosion hazards along destabilized channels
Riverbank erosion, associated sedimentation and land loss hazards are a land management problem of global significance and many attempts to predict the onset of riverbank instability have been made. In this paper, a rational, physically based method
to predict the location of tension cracks on the floodplain behind the eroding bank ace is presented and tested. A case study is used to illustrate the computational procedure required to apply the model. Improved estimates of failure block geometry using
the new method may potentially be applied to improve predictions of bank and floodplain land loss.
Energetics prediction of frequency-dependent suspended sand transport rates on a macrotidal beach
In this paper, simple energetics modelling is used to compare velocity moment predictions with field observations of suspended sand transport rates. Separate consideration is given to transport associated with the 3 main frequency-dependent cross
-shore transport processes : that associated with the short (incident) waves, that due to the long infragravity waves, and transport associated with the mean flow. Comparison of the suspended load velocity moment predictions with field measurements
is then used to assess the validity of this energetics approach in the prediction of cross-shore suspended sand transport fluxes.
