Channel head location and characteristics using digital elevation models

Auteurs :
HANCOCK, G.R.
EVANS, K.G.

Description :
This study examines channel head position and characteristics in a catchment in Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia. The aims of this study are to measure the area-slope attributes of channel heads in this catchment and to investigate to what extent channel head location can be predicted by the area-slope relationship and the cumulative area distribution. The effect of digital elevation model grid resolution on the ability to locate channel head position and assess hillslope length will also be examined.
