Title Reach-Scale Retrieval of Alluvial Bed Roughness
Creator Wheaton, Joseph M.
Description System-scale patterns of bed roughness exert a fundamental control on flow resistance, sediment transport and river ecological processes. While field techniques for the measurement of roughness are well established they are often invasive, labor intensive and difficult to generalize over space. Recent research has demonstrated that analysis of low-altitude imagery can be used to map grain-size over large spatial scales with tolerable precision. However, although this approach provides a route...
