Investigating the correlation of tectonic and morphometric characteristics with the hydrological response in a Greek river catchment using earth observation and geospatial analysis techniques
Original language description
Morphometric analysis can be used to investigate catchment dynamics and tectonic processes responsible for the development of drainage catchments and to support flood risk assessment. In this study, a comparative GIS based morphometric analysis between the main southern and northern subcatchments of the Sperchios River basin, Central Greece, was performed, using geospatial and remote sensing data. The goal was to investigate their correlation with the peculiar geotectonic activity and the frequent flash flood events that occur in the river floodplain. All subcatchments characteristics are linked with the geological formation types of the area, in combination with ongoing tectonic activity. The results indicate that drainage network development is significantly controlled by the region s overall tectonic activity. The morphometric characteristics, i.e., bifurcation ratio, drainage density, circularity ratio, elongation ratio and water concentration time values, reflect the flood prone charac
