The first paper from AGL alum Forrest Williams's M.S. thesis is now available on the web! This paper describes the tool (called AIMM, for Aerial Imagery Migration Model) that Forrest developed in ArcPy and ArcGIS to combine aerial imagery and LiDAR datasets to estimate the net volume change of sediment in dynamic river and stream networks. The paper discusses all the gory details of what goes into AIMM, and then demonstrates it's use in the South Fork Iowa River watershed.
