Scale issues in hydrological modelling: A review

TL;DR: A framework is provided for scaling and scale issues in hydrology and a more holistic perspective dealing with dimensional analysis and similarity concepts is addressed, which deals with complex processes in a much simpler fashion.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the extraction of channel networks from digital elevation data

TL;DR: A criterion for determining the appropriate drainage density at which to extract networks from digital elevation data is suggested to extract the highest resolution (highest drainage density) network that satisfies scaling laws that have traditionally been found to hold for channel networks.

Spatially Balanced Sampling of Natural Resources

TL;DR: In this paper, a unified strategy for selecting spatially balanced probability samples of natural resources is presented, which is based on creating a function that maps two-dimensional space into onedimensional space, thereby defining an ordered spatial address.

Fractal Physiology

TL;DR: The nature of fractals and the use of fractal instead of classical scaling concepts to describe the irregular surfaces, structures, and processes exhibited by physiological systems are described in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Statistical Law of Stream Numbers

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for networks with a given number of first-order Strahler streams, the most probable network order is that which makes the geometric mean bifurcation ratio closest to 4.

Erosional development of streams and their drainage basins; hydrophysical approach to quantitative morphology

TL;DR: The most important single factor involved in erosion phenomena and, in particular in connection with the development of stream systems and their drainage basins by aqueous erosion is called crossgrading.

Hypsometric (area-altitude) analysis of erosional topography.

TL;DR: The percentage hypsometric curve (area-altitude curve) as discussed by the authors relates horizontal cross-sectional area of a drainage basin to relative elevation above basin mouth, and is used to measure the sinuosity of form and proportionate area below the curve.

Evolution of drainage systems and slopes in badlands at perth amboy, new jersey

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied geomorphic processes and landforms in a small badlands area at Perth Amboy, New Jersey, and selected a fifth-order drainage system to analyze the development of erosional topography.
