Filtering spatial error from DEMs: implicatons for morphological change estimation (2010)
Journal Article
Milan, D. J., Heritage, G. L., Large, A. R. G., & Fuller, I. C. (2011). Filtering spatial error from DEMs: implicatons for morphological change estimation. Geomorphology, 125(1), 160-171. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2010.09.012

Scour and fill estimation from digital elevation model (DEM) subtraction or differencing is an increasingly common technique in morphological and sediment transport investigations. The technique is commonly used to estimate scour and fill volumes and... Read More about Filtering spatial error from DEMs: implicatons for morphological change estimation.

Mapping hydraulic biotopes using terrestrial laser scan data of water surface properties (2010)
Journal Article
Milan, D., Heritage, G., Large, A., & Entwistle, N. (2010). Mapping hydraulic biotopes using terrestrial laser scan data of water surface properties. Earth surface processes and landforms : the journal of the British Geomorphological Research Group, 35(8), 918-931. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.1948

For more than a decade, habitat mapping using biotopes (in-channel hydraulically-defined habitats) has underpinned aquatic conservation in the UK through (a) providing baseline information on system complexity and (b) allowing environmental and ecolo...

Influence of survey strategy and interpolation model on DEM quality (2009)
Journal Article
Heritage, G. L., Milan, D. J., Large, A. R., & Fuller, I. C. (2009). Influence of survey strategy and interpolation model on DEM quality. Geomorphology, 112(3-4), 334-344. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2009.06.024

Accurate characterisation of morphology is critical to many studies in the field of geomorphology, particularly those dealing with changes over time. Digital elevation models (DEMs) are commonly used to represent morphology in three dimensions. The q... Read More about Influence of survey strategy and interpolation model on DEM quality.

Terrestrial Laser Scanning of grain roughness in a gravel-bed river (2009)
Journal Article
Heritage, G. L., & Milan, D. J. (2009). Terrestrial Laser Scanning of grain roughness in a gravel-bed river. Geomorphology, 113(1-2), 4-11. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2009.03.021

This paper demonstrates the application of Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) to determine the full population of grain roughness in gravel-bed rivers. The technique has the potential to completely replace the need for complex, time-consuming manual sa... Read More about Terrestrial Laser Scanning of grain roughness in a gravel-bed river.
