fluvgeo

An R Package for Performing Fluvial Geomrphology Analysis

Package Status

Description

This package contains a wide range of functions for performing fluvial geomorphic analysis. This R package is designed for use with the FluvialGeomorph ArcGIS toolbox. The FluvialGeomorph ArcGIS toolbox contains an tools that can be used to extract spatial data from high-resolution terrain data. The FluvialGeomorph ArcGIS toolbox depends on functions in this package to perform a wide range of fluvial geomorphic analysis:

• Calculate stream channel dimensions
• Calculate stream planform dimensions
• Produce reports of stream channel and planform dimensions
• Tools for choosing a bankfull elevation for ungaged streams
