G. Emerging Technologies for Appraising River Behavior
Background
Synopsis of Topic
Joe will briefly discuss a few emerging technologies and techniques for appraising river behavior from repeat topographic surveys.
Why We’re Covering It
As topographic surveying becomes a more accessible form of monitoring and these datasets become more readily available, it is important to think about how we can use those data to quantify river behavior and as a test of the validity of process inferences about behavior we learned about in Day 1. Particularly for those participants involved in CHaMP, this provides a direct linkage between
Learning Outcomes
This topics helps us with the following learning outcomes for the workshop:
- “Demonstrate use of emerging technologies to support place-based river restoration activities that build upon the River Styles framework as a coherent conceptual platform”
