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

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.
