Note: This project no longer runs/installs due to package version issues. Reach out if you wish it still worked and maybe we can figure something out.

An R package for analyzing LiDAR data to support stream and meadow restoration. It processes Digital Elevation Models to examine flow paths from tributaries through valley bottoms, identifying degraded channels, ditching, and flow redirections caused by roads or other disturbances.

Outputs include cross-sectional profiles, process space polygons estimating water level increases at 1-ft and 2-ft intervals, detrended elevation models, and KMZ files for 3D visualization in Google Earth. Inputs are a raster DEM and a target stream reach shapefile.
