Road Micro-Topography Evolution

Quantifying small-scale rut development on gravel forest roads using digital elevation modeling (DEM) differencing.

Installation

Download and install Miniconda

After installing Miniconda set up Mamba (optional but recommended)

$ conda install mamba -n base -c conda-forge

Clone the repo and set up the conda environment

$ git clone https://github.com/amanaster2/micro_diff.git
$ cd ./micro_diff
$ mamba env create -f micro_diff_env.yml
$ conda activate micro_diff
$ pip install -e .

Repository Navigation

notebooks contains step-by-step Jupyter notebooks to analyze rut development
micro contains .py files that contain functions for streamlining of code

Analysis Steps

1. Run clip_rasters.ipynb

2. Run coregistration.ipynb

3. Run raster_analysis.ipynb

4. Run stats.ipynb

5. Move to ll_micro and follow steps in that README.md.

6. Run flow_pathway_analysis.ipynb
