Excited to announce a new paper out of the @ClasticsLab & @txgeosciences (with co-authors @zzsylvester, @PaulMGeo , and D. Mohrig) exploring the kinematics of meander bend cutoffs in timelapse satellite imagery. The full OA paper is available here [1/6]:

New paper out now in Geology w/ co-authors @zzsylvester, @RiversToRocks, and @peteflaig exploring linkages between river avulsions and their 3-D stratigraphic architecture in the ancient sedimentary record: doi.org/10.1130/G52254.1
Lidar point cloud data capturing a ~50 sq. km region of the Cedar Mountain Fm. fluvial ridges, including the avulsion site analyzed here, were acquired by @NCALM_UH and are hosted by @OpenTopography:

ALT On October 25, 2023, Hurricane Otis made landfall near Acapulco, Mexico, as a Category 5 storm, causing widespread damage and flooding. This animation shows the OPERA RTC-S1 backscatter before landfall (October 24, 2023) and after landfall (November 2, 2023). The data show a clear increase in water extent between the October 24 image and the November 2 image.

We further explore the predictability of bend migration rates and patterns based on initial planform bend geometry using the simple geometric model of Howard and Knutson (1984) [5/6].
This paper is published as part of a forthcoming GSL Special Publication on Meandering Streamflows, and I am stoked for our work to be included alongside this awesome group of scientists. Highly recommend checking out the full Spec. Pub. here [6/6]:

For those still around #AGU23, drop by Moscone South this morning and chat with me about new ways to track and quantify river meandering processes (1666) and/or this afternoon to discuss Jupyter Notebook applications in-development by the OPERA project team at JPL (0207).
New blog post highlighting a suite of Jupyter Notebooks to enable programmatic access to cloud-hosted USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) #lidar data. Notebooks demonstrate how to use @pointcloudpipe to access & process data hosted by Amazon Open Data. opentopography.org/blog/new-… 1/2
This suite of programmatic workflows are enabled by–and rely heavily upon–flexible and customizable pipelines provided by the outstanding PDAL (@pointcloudpipe) library developed by the @hobuinc team.
Workflows enable users to generate elevation products for custom AOIs, @USGS quads/HUCs, and corridors. Derivative products include topographic difference maps, canopy height models, and RGB-colorized point clouds from 1m NAIP imagery.
Thanks for helping to get the word out @giswqs! Very excited to share the results of this collaborative effort between @OpenTopography and the @USGS_CDI to streamline access to USGS 3DEP #lidar data. Feature suggestions / improvements are welcomed and greatly encouraged.
