Extract and Analyze Rivers from Elevation Data
Description
Seamless extraction of river networks from digital
elevation models data. The package allows analysis of digital
elevation models that can be either externally provided or
downloaded from open source repositories (thus interfacing
with the 'elevatr' package). Extraction is performed via the
'D8' flow direction algorithm of TauDEM (Terrain Analysis Using
Digital Elevation Models), thus interfacing with the 'traudem'
package. Resulting river networks are compatible with functions
from the 'OCNet' package. See Carraro (2023)
for a presentation of the package.
