In the last two decades, airborne laser scanning (ALS) has found widespread application
and driven fundamental advances in the Earth sciences. With increasing availability and …

Recent technological developments in geodesy, surveying and remote sensing present new
opportunities to quantify the rate and distribution of fluvial processes in gravel bed rivers …

Precisely measuring the Earth's changing surface on decadal to centennial time scales is
critical for many science and engineering applications, yet long-term records of quantitative …

The availability of high‐resolution, multi‐temporal, remotely sensed topographic data is
revolutionizing geomorphic analysis. Three‐dimensional topographic point measurements …

Topographic surveys inevitably contain error, introducing uncertainty into estimates of
volumetric or mean change based on the differencing of repeated surveys. In the …

Understanding the physical processes driving bedrock channel formation is essential for
interpreting and predicting the evolution of mountain landscapes. Here we analyze bedrock …

Abstract Changes in the severity and likelihood of flooding events are typically associated
with changes in the intensity and frequency of streamflows, but temporal adjustments in a …

In civil engineering and building construction, the earthwork volume calculation is one of the
most important factors in the design and construction stages; therefore, an accurate …

The relative importance of extreme events in the long-term exhumation of landscapes is
difficult to determine; the degree to which modern records capture long-term mean process …

Barrier islands are especially vulnerable to hurricanes and other large storms, owing to their
mobile composition, low elevations, and detachment from the mainland. Conceptual models …
