High-resolution satellite-derived river network map reveals small Arctic river hydrography

Small rivers (width <30 m) are crucial components of Arctic terrestrial river networks. Yet to date, spatial resolution limitations of commonly used satellite imagery have inhibited quantification of their hydrography. By merging newly available Sentinel-2 multispectral satellite imagery with 2-m...
