Bridging Gaps in Satellite Observations of River and Delta Landscapes Using Image Warping, by Youwei Wang, Yuan Li, and Ajay Limaye (Water Resources Research, 2025).

OA paper: doi.org/10.1029/2024...

Quick overview: AGU 2024 poster attached.

Using reconstructed images, we create synthetic stratigraphy for the Ucayali River based on estimated aggradation and channel preservation rates. Though not fully realistic, it might be helpful for comparing with field data. Spot the two 5m-tall (unrealistic for sure) geologists for scale? :)

Image warping offers powerful solutions for reconstructing landscape evolution, even with incomplete satellite data. Check out these examples: from simple head-turning motions in cats to detailed reconstructions of the Ucayali River and Wax Lake Delta, all using just two input images!
