The FluvialGeomorph ArcGIS toolbox is a Python/R toolbox used to rapidly assess stream condition and health using remotely sensed terrain data (LiDAR) at fine scale and for large spatial extents. This toolbox was initially inspired by the approach and techniques of the River Bathymetry Toolkit, RBT but expanded upon their effort by adding additional analysis tools and reports. This project is open source to help ensure that these fluvial geomorphology tools remain available for the widest use, maintenance, and adaptation.
Funding for development and maintenance of FluvialGeomorph has been provided by the following US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) programs:
- Ecosystem Management and Restoration Research Program (EMRRP).
- Regional Sediment Management Program (RSM)
- Mississippi River Geomorphology and Potamology Program (MRG&P)
- Flood Risk Management Program (FRM)
- Engineering With Nature (EWN)
