Palaeochannels of the Trent Catchment

The Mapping the Palaeochannels of the Trent Catchment project commissioned by Historic England, aims to enhance the record of palaeochannels within the Trent Catchment, to create a database comparable to that created by the Trent Valley Geoarchaeology project for Derbyshire (Baker 2003), and to further improve the database by including the analysis of lidar and other remote-sensing techniques. The pilot phase of the project within Nottinghamshire had the aim of assessing the feasibility of using multiple data sources to compile a comprehensive database of the palaeochannel record of the Trent Valley and major tributaries and to establish a more focussed methodology to complete the analysis of the entire Trent catchment. The initial report (Malone and Stein 2015) focussed on the Trent Valley and its tributaries within Nottinghamshire. Stage 2 expands the methodology to the entirety of the Trent catchment.

由英国历史古迹署（Historic England）委托开展的特伦特流域古河道测绘项目，旨在完善特伦特流域内的古河道（palaeochannel）记录，构建可与德比郡特伦特河谷地质考古项目（Trent Valley Geoarchaeology project，Baker 2003）所搭建的数据库相媲美的数据集，并通过纳入激光雷达（LiDAR）及其他遥感技术的分析结果进一步优化该数据库。该项目在诺丁汉郡境内的试点阶段，旨在评估利用多源数据整合特伦特河谷及其主要支流古河道记录综合数据库的可行性，并确立一套更具针对性的方法论，以完成整个特伦特流域的古河道分析工作。首份研究报告（Malone与Stein，2015）聚焦于诺丁汉郡境内的特伦特河谷及其支流。第二阶段则将该方法论推广至整个特伦特流域范围。
