Abstract

The river characteristics have played an important role for hydrological models. Sediments supplied from landslides may affect the river channel morphological changes in different reaches or magnitude; namely, the riverbed morphology can be related to disaster events. Measurements of riverbed morphology are made using high-resolution LiDAR DEM in this study to understand the relationship. Quantifying the morphology along a river channel has been proven difficult; till the airborne laser altimetry technology was implemented in the survey. In this study, the remote sensing techniques are employed to assist the studies on stream roughness distribution and morphological investigation. The results are proven to be valuable for hydrological and engineering applications.
