Researchers develop new zoning tool that provides global topographic datasets in minutes

With the increased availability of remote sensing technologies, scientists now have access to high-resolution datasets on Earth’s surface properties at the global scale. As a result, an international team of scientists, including ASU professor and hydrologist Enrique Vivoni of the School of Earth and Space Exploration, has published the first comprehensive high resolution map of Earth’s floodplains in the Nature journal Scientific Data.
