DISTINGUISHING REACHES IN A TROPICAL HEADWATER STREAM, COSTA RICA: UTILIZING MORPHOLOGY, INSTREAM WOOD, AND TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNING IN HYDRAULIC CHARACTERIZATION

Channel morphologies embody the physical reaction between channel substrate, bed material, and flow regime. This study examines reach-scale morphology variability in an ungauged tropical headwater stream. Field morphology classifications are validated through quantifying instream wood distribution a...
