Development of a Riparian Condition Assessment Protocol for Northern Gulf Rivers using Remote Sensing and Ground Survey

The primary focus of this study was to establish the riparian condition baseline against which future condition trends could be measured; and the development of a robust, repeatable method of analysis.
However, during the course of the study, researchers found that the dramatic changes in woody vegetation in both the channel zone and across floodplains warranted much more detailed investigation to establish:

A remote sensing approach for mapping and classifying riparian gully erosion in Tropical Australia

superuser — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 06:47:53 +0000

Alluvial gully erosion has been one of the dominant contemporary sediment sources in many of the large rivers draining into the Gulf of Carpentaria, yet, fundamental questions persist concerning the phenomenon both in terms of causal mechanisms and extent. In this project a baseline assessment of alluvial gully erosion in four tropical savannah rivers was undertaken resulting in both the development of a gully erosion conceptual model and an assessment of the spatial extent of gully erosion.
