Digital Elevation Model Watershed and Stream Network Delineation. Synopsis, Slides, Apologies. I made a mistake in starting the recording for this lecture, and as a result it was not recorded. If you missed the lecture, you can glean some of what was presented just from the slides. However as a work around, I also wanted to provide links to similar lectures given as part of the GIS in Water Resources class taught in 2018. See http://hydrology.usu.edu/dtarb/giswr/2018/. Specifically look at September 27 and October 2 lectures. There are slides and videos there, so you can see where the slides are the same (and different). The lecture I presented 9/17/19 was a combination of these 9/27/18 and 10/2/18 lectures. Listening to these lectures should give you the gist of what was presented. September 27, 2018 Slides, Video.
