This repository sets the data structure to store channel centreline properties and centreline evolution through time. It provides methods to create cross-sections and measure channel geomorphic and kinematics parameters.
The methodologies for channel morphometric measurements, and channel point tracking algorithm are inspired from [zsylvester/meanderpy] (https://github.com/zsylvester/meanderpy)
If you use the code to measure channel geomorphic parameters, please refer to the following publication:
- Lemay, M., Grimaud, J. L., Cojan, I., Rivoirard, J., & Ors, F. (2020). Geomorphic variability of submarine channelized systems along continental margins: Comparison with fluvial meandering channels. Marine and Petroleum Geology, 115, 104295.
If you use the code to analyse channel evolution and measure kinematics, please refer to the following publication:
