Purpose

The U.S. Geological Survey has an ongoing research interest in developing and testing innovative technologies for remote sensing of river bed topography. High-resolution measurements of bed topography are increasingly used to support scientific investigations and resource monitoring because such data afford numerous advantages for geomorphic change detection, physical habitat characterization, and numerical modeling of flow and sediment transport.
