Geomorphic Features

Geomorphic features are topographic and bathymetric landforms on the Earth’s surface. To model them, high resolution elevation data often are collected using lidar (light detection and ranging) technology.  Lidar data are useful for many types of analyses including estimating the heights of river banks and the depths and locations of roadside and agricultural ditches.
