He worked in Germany and the USA during his post-doctoral studies. He was appointed as an assistant professor in 2002 and an associate professor in 2003 at Istanbul Technical University. He spent one year (2009) in Germany as an Alexander von Humboldt guest researcher. Currently, he is a professor of hydrology and water resources in the Hydraulics Unit of the Civil Engineering Department at Istanbul Technical University. His research topics range from statistical methods to process-based modeling techniques for rainfall-runoff-sediment transport in hydrological watersheds and rivers. He was awarded the 2006 Best Paper and 2009 Best Discussion Awards of the ASCE Journal of Hydrologic Engineering and the 2011 Engineering Incentive Award of the Scientific and Technological Council of Turkey (TUBITAK). Prof. Aksoy is the universities’ representative to the National Hydrology Commission of Turkey and has served as vice president (2007–2011), president elect (2011–2013), president (2013–2017), and past president (2017–2019) of International Commission of Surface Water (ICSW), International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS). He was recently awarded a Fulbright Visiting Researcher Scholarship. Gil Mah´e received a BA (1986) in geology and geophysics from Paris XI University and a master’s degree (1987) in hydrology. He then studied hydrology, meteorology, climate, and oceanography with the ORSTOM Institute (now IRD, Research Institute for Developing Countries) in France and Senegal to obtain a PhD from Paris XI University in 1992. In 1993, his PhD received the French national prize of “Georges Hachette” from the Societ´ edeG´ eographie´ of Paris. He is now a research director at IRD. He spent five years in Mali working on the hydroclimatology and sediment transport of the Niger River. He then spent one year in the Climatic Research Unit of University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK, working on the hydrological modeling and impact of climate change on the Niger River. He went back to West Africa for four more years, working in Burkina Faso at the International School of Engineers on the Sahel paradox: less rainfall and more runoff. He then developed research in Maghreb on the impact of climate and human activities on river regimes and sediment transport, with a more recent focus on the impact of dams on sediment transport to the sea. He is currently the president of the International Commission of Surface Water (ICSW), International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS). He is the chair of the International Committee of the FRIEND program of UNESCO (International Hydrological Program) and is responsible for the Mediterranean FRIEND group. He is the coordinator of the French research program SICMED of the MISTRALS CNRS/INSU program for the study of the Mediterranean environment. Mohamed Meddi received his PhD from the University of Strasbourg in France. He is a professor of hydrology and a scientific manager of doctoral training at the National High School of Hydraulics of Blida. Prof. Meddi is a member of the editorial board of several journals. His research focuses on hydrology and water science, and he has written more than 50 publications. Prof. Meddi has organized several international conferences in the field of water science. In addition, he is a member of the National Commission for the implementation of the PNR topics. Prof. Meddi is responsible for several national research and international programs. Currently, he is reviewer for several scientific journals. He is a member of the MEDFRIEND (one of the eight FRIEND programs of vii the International Hydrological Program of UNESCO). Most recently, he was a member of the WASER (World Association for Sedimentation and Erosion Research) Council. viii Preface to “Modeling and Practice of Erosion and Sediment Transport under Change” This book titled “Modeling and Practice of Erosion and Sediment Transport under Change” is composed of five keywords. Two out of the five keywords—“erosion” and “sediment transport”—are related to processes. They are two consecutive processes; one, the former, comes after the other, the latter. Sediment particles are first detached from their original location by erosion under the effect of different agents, such as wind, rainfall, and runoff, and are then transported. Another two keywords are “modeling” and “practice”, which are mutually linked—both based on each other. Good practice is not possible without a theoretically well-established model nor is modeling valuable when it is not applicable to practice. Finally, the crucial keyword,
