River Feshie, Scotland - Geomorphic Change Detection - Example Dataset

A simple Example GCD Dataset illustrating topographic change detection from five years of repeat monitoring of the Feshie from 2003 to 2007. Used in Tutorials (e.g. FIS Error Modelling) and appears in:

. Dataset is from:

700m braided gravel bed river in the  Scottish Cairngorm mountains.

5 annual surveys

Mix of RTKGPS and Total Station

1m cell resolution

Dataset includes raw data to run exercises, as well as full *.gcd projects that can be opened.
