Utilizing Flood Inundation Observations to Obtain Floodplain Topography in Data-Scarce Regions
Flood models predict inundation extents, and can be an important source of information for flood risk studies. Accurate flood models require high resolution and high accuracy digital elevation models (DEM); current global DEMs do not capture the topographic details in floodplains, and this often lea...
