Climate change threatens biodiversity through global alteration of habitats, but efficient
conservation responses are often hindered by imprecise downscaling of impacts. Besides …

Advances in topobathymetric LiDARs could enable rapid surveys at sub‐meter resolution
over entire stream networks. This is the first step to improving our knowledge of riverine …

Geomorphologists have studied and debated over the processes responsible for natural
riffle-pool maintenance for decades. Most studies have focused on small wadable rivers, but …

Non-intrusive image-based techniques for measuring surface river velocities have rapidly
evolved as a cost-effective and safe means for quantifying flow patterns. Large-scale particle …

Studies of the effects of hydrodynamic model dimensionality on simulated flow properties
and derived quantities such as aquatic habitat quality are limited. It is important to close this …

Topographic information is fundamental to geomorphic inquiry, and spatial prediction of bed
elevation from irregular survey data is an important component of many reach‐scale studies …

Many applications in river research and management rely upon two‐dimensional (2D)
numerical models to characterize flow fields, assess habitat conditions, and evaluate …

Gravel‐bed braided rivers are characterized by shallow, branching flow across low relief,
complex, and mobile bed topography. These conditions present a major challenge for the …

Anthropogenic, eco-morphological degradation of lotic waters necessitates laws, directives,
and voluntary actions involving stream restoration and habitat enhancement. Research and …

Repeat topographic surveys are often used to monitor geomorphological change in rivers.
Such surveys can yield Digital elevation models (OEMs), which are differenced against each …
