• Tool Description
  • This tool allows users to extract river profiles from DEM data and analyze the steepness index and concavity of one or more channels. It operates using ArcGIS 9.x and MATLAB r14 (including the Statistics Toolbox).

• Tool Codes
  • ArcGIS .dll file and MATLAB codes here
  • ArcGIS DEM preparation toolboxes here
  • Note: 9.1 users should use 'DEM_Prep9_1.py' only

• Tool Tutorials
  • All tutorials in single package (.pdf)
    • This tutorial package was created for a short course taught during the October 2007 meeting of the Geological Society of America.

• Tool Training Opportunities
  • 2007-10: GSA Short course
• Future offerings are anticipated at PSU, ASU and ISU in the Spring of 2008. Stay posted for details.

• Tool Development
  • This tool was initiated in the late 90's at MIT by Noah Snyder and Kelin Whipple and later refined through generations of subsequent graduate students. The most recent incarnation expanded the code to allow integration between Matlab and ArcGIS. The ArcGIS interface was pioneered by Daniel Sheehan and Eric Kirby. Subsequent refinements and QA/QC were added by Joel Johnson, Ben Crosby, Cam Wobus and Will Ouimet.
