Specific Gage Analysis: Inferring River Bed Evolution with Indirect Measurements
This was an online module on Specific Gage analysis presented during the online "Screening Level Sediment Analysis" class I taught with Dr John Shelley in late 2019.
Specific gage analyses use flow and water surface elevations to infer morphologic change without repeated cross sections or direct river-bed measurements.
