A new topobathymetric lidar dataset for the Potomac River from the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) is available for download. Uses: estimating concentrations of contaminant plumes; engineering for bridges and roads; mapping aquatic habitats for biological assessments; and flood mapping.

Blow-Me-Down Brook, NH – An NHD Flowline Picked ‘Randomly’

--

--
I am working on some hydroaddressing / network traversing technical approaches for 3DHP – and needed an example of a multisegment flowline in NHD-sourced dataset, and so ‘randomly’ got this one - Blow-Me-Down, NH, from WBD HUC4-0108.
Although we map so many flowlines (~20 million in the USA for NHD-sourced spatial data, estimated 10x that for the EDH data still to be determined across the USA), I like trying to understand what a flowline or waterbody ‘is’ to the people on the ground as much as I can...

The Fluvial Geomorphology Equivalent Of ‘Ontogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny’?
--
usgs.gov/3d-elevation-program <-- USGS’s 3DEP’s open data for elevation
--
This is a ‘quick and dirty’ visualisation I made the other day with 3DEP iFSAR data to get a better sense of the fluvial geomorphology up in this area of NE Alaska near Kaktovik/Gordon, it is amazing what pops...
Lay over some hydrology vectors, some of the underlying geology boundaries, etc - and the landforms become much easier to understand in terms of origin and development - the geomorphic/hydrologic/erosional/geologic/vegetative/etc equivalent of biology's “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny”?

Excellent to attend GeoWeek for a day, interact in person with so many, see some amazing technology – and get to drive a Boston Dynamics ‘robot dog’!!
