Introduction • LiDAR • Recent development • Rapid acquisition of topographic data at high-precision and high-resolution • Interesting on braided rivers because rapid changes through time and minimised elevation errors (almost no vegetation, low flows) • Objectives of this study Characterize morphological changes of a braided river following a 15 yr flood from multidate airborne LiDAR - Assess errors - Calculate sediment budget - Explore spatial pattern Reach-scale morphological changes of a braided river following a 15-year flood with multidate airborne LiDAR
