| Title | New Techniques and Metrics for Describing Rivers Using High Resolution Digital Elevation Models |
| Creator | Wheaton, Joseph M. |
| Description | Techniques for collecting high resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) of fluvial environments are cheaper and more widely accessible than ever before. These DEMs improve over traditional transect-based approaches because they represent the channel bed as a continuous surface. Advantages beyond the obvious more accurate representations of channel area and volume include the three dimensional representation of geomorphic features that directly influence the behavior of river organisms.
