8	Cohesive Sediments more books like this by Neville Burt, R Parker, Jacqueline Watts add to wishlist There is an alarming tendency today to assume that something calculated by a computer must be correct, yet the phrase 'garbage in, garbage out' (gigo) is possibly nowhere more (generally) appropriate than in computer modelling of cohesive sediment behaviour.
