Can DEM time series produced by UAV be used to quantify diffuse erosion in an agricultural watershed?
N Pineux, J Lisein, G Swerts, CL Bielders, P Lejeune… - Geomorphology, 2017 - Elsevier
Erosion and deposition modelling should rely on field data. Currently these data are seldom
available at large spatial scales and/or at high spatial resolution. In addition, conventional …
