Dataset Name: Piercy, CA: Response of Bedrock River to Base Level Lowering, SF Eel River
Short Name: CA09_Foster
Collection Platform: Airborne LiDAR

----------------------------------------------------------

Dataset Overview: NCALM Seed Project. PI: Melissa Foster, Humboldt State University. The survey area consists of a 44 square kilometer polygon located next to Piercy, CA. The data were collected to study the response of a bedrock-controlled river and its tributaries to base level lowering. The study investigates the knickpoints and channel response of the South for Eel River.
