Description
Summary:[...] the application and testing of conventional fluvial geomorphology theory to small watersheds is at a critical stage. Highresolution remote sensing methods, based on light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data, can generate high-resolution topographic data beneath forest canopy, and standard automated methods, based on a critical accumulation threshold (drainage area), can be used to create maps of channel networks.
