USING GIS TO QUANTIFY TEMPORAL GEOMORPHIC ANALYSIS ON THE SUSITNA RIVER, ALASKA

摘要

1. The symbofogy and attributing of spatial data was fundamental in the analysis of fluvial geomorphic, vegetation, biogeomotphic (beaver) processes. By reducing the GIS dala to rates of geomorphic change, it became apparent that ice processes also act to create and sustain salmon habitat on the Susitna River (Figure 6). 2. In summary, the use of GIS allowed the team to produce a more cirect method to characterize the process governing channel stability and change.
