), allowing for the interpolation of a digital elevation model on a 2 cm grid. Comparison with an elevation model obtained from terrestrial laser scanning for the same site revealed that both models show similar degrees of topographic detail.
Depending on their behaviour during extreme floods, streams can be divided into 2 distinct classes, which derive from a simple threshold model of transport dynamics. Flood-cleaning streams erode during high flows and deposit during small and medium
