Exit and Paradise Creek Fluvial Features, 2012
This dataset presents delineations of the braid plains of Exit and Paradise Creeks in Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska for 2012 conditions. A braid plain can be defined generally as the area over which a braided river shifts, and can include active braid plain (the suite of wetted channels and lar...
