DEVELOPMENT OF DEM-BASED METHOD FOR MAPPING STREAM POWER DISTRIBUTION OF SOUTHERN ONTARIO STREAMS
Mapping of stream power along a stream system, a known determinant of channel form and dynamics, is a valuable component of geomorphic stream assessment procedures that, unlike current methods, is physically-based, time- and cost-effective, objective and repeatable. Continuous maps of stream power …
