Geomorphology, Fall 2006
25 cm DEM view of piece of landscape
Geomorphology, Fall 2006
Drainage network: drainage area greater than 10 m2
Geomorphology, Fall 2006
Hillslopes: drainage area < 10 m2
Geomorphology, Fall 2006
Partitioned view of drainage network and hillslopes at 10 m2 threshold--very different processes dominate in the two different domains
Geomorphology, Fall 2006
Drainage basin: boundary of contributing area = 0 for given outlet
Geomorphology, Fall 2006
Drainage network: “skeleton” of the landscape
