Quantifying streambank erosion: A comparison of physical surveys, aerial imagery and UAS LiDAR surveys

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 6, May 2025.
Four methods were used to quantify short‐term (1–2 years) reach‐wide streambank erosion rates along three low‐order streams in western Virginia: (1) bank height and cross‐section (XS) surveys, (2) bank height and top of bank (TOB) surveys, (3) bank height survey and aerial imagery analysis and (4) DEM of Difference (DoD) using UAS LiDAR with channel ...

Scale-Optimized Surface Roughness for Topographic Analysis

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
Surface roughness is a terrain parameter that has been widely applied to the study of geomorphological processes. One of the main challenges in studying roughness is its highly scale-dependent nature.

Geomorphometry: Today and Tomorrow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This paper summarizes the current state-of-the-art in geomorphometry and describes the innovations that are close at hand and will be required to push digital terrain modeling forward in the future. These innovations will draw on concepts and methods from computer science and the spatial sciences and require greater collaboration to produce “actionable”

Modeled Seed Accumulation Patterns Explain Spatial Heterogeneity of Shrub Recruitment Within the Taiga‐Tundra Ecotone

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract Arctic shrub productivity trends display variability at multiple spatial scales. Fine‐scale studies have generally observed the greatest shrub expansion in landscape positions that accumulate water and nutrients. While considerable work has focused on the mediating effect of these resources on growth responses to warming, less is known about ...

Wood jam mobility in a morphologically active river in northern Chilean Patagonia

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 3, 15 March 2025.
This study examined post‐eruption wood jam mobility and channel changes in the Blanco River. Floodplain collapses led to large sediment yields. High wood jam mobility rates were reported. Larger, less compact wood jams persist in stable areas; new and missing jams are smaller and linked to deposition and erosion, respectively.

An evaluation of EU-DEM in comparison with ASTER GDEM, SRTM and contour-based DEMs over the Eastern Mecsek Mountains

open access: yesHungarian Geographical Bulletin, 2014
The availability of global coverage digital surface models (like ASTER GDEM or SRTM) and the variation of fused models based on these (like EU-DEM) still has a great impact on scientific researches, as they provides a fairly good base dataset with a low ...

What is the Relationship Between Plant Trait Diversity and Geodiversity? A Plot‐Based, Pan‐European Analysis

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 11, November 2024.
ABSTRACT Aim Heterogeneity of the Earth's abiotic surface and subsurface (geodiversity) is increasingly recognised as an important driver of biodiversity. Theoretically, species' traits should match to abiotic conditions in the local environment. Here, we test this for the first time at a continental extent by analysing the relationships between ...

Terrain Analysis According to Multiscale Surface Roughness in the Taklimakan Desert

open access: yesLand
Surface roughness, interpreted in the wide sense of surface texture, is a generic term referring to a variety of aspects and scales of spatial variability of surfaces.

Geomorphometry 2020 - Conference proceedings

open access: yes, 2020
Geomorphometry is the science of quantitative land surface analysis. It gathers various mathematical, statistical and image processing techniques to quantify morphological, hydrological, ecological and other aspects of a land surface. Common synonyms for geomorphometry are geomorphological analysis, terrain morphometry or terrain analysis and land ...
