Creator Wheaton, Joseph M. Bangen, Sara Bouwes, Nicolaas Jordan, Chris Volk, Carol Ward, Michael B.
Description Digital elevation models (DEMs) derived from ground-based topographic surveys have become ubiquitous in the field of fluvial geomorphology. Their wide application in spatially explicit analysis includes hydraulic modeling, habitat modeling, and morphological sediment budgeting. However, there is a lack of understanding regarding the repeatability and precision of DEMs derived from ground-based surveys conducted by different, and inherently subjective, observers. This is of particular concern...
