crevasse splays

Combining satellite multispectral imagery and topographic data for the detection and mapping of fluvial avulsion processes in lowland areas

Fluvial avulsion is an important process in the dynamics of the riverscapes and plays a key role in the drainage network evolution in lowland areas, also influencing past and present social processes and economic activities. Crevasse splays represent significant geomorphological features for understanding the fluvial morphodynamics in lowland areas dominated by avulsion processes.
