We've recently released a #QGIS plugin for Whitebox Workflows for Python (WbW). Now you can access this powerful #python #geoprocessing library from an easy-to-use GUI. #GIS #gischat #geospatial #mapping #spatialanalysis #geopython

Hey #geospatial experts! As of the v1.2 release, Whitebox Workflows for Python (WbW) is free. WbW is a Python library for advanced geoprocessing, including more than 400 functions for #gis and #remotesensing analysis. WbW enables you to write powerful geoprocessing scripts. #gischat #lidar

The impoundment size index (ISI) in #WhiteboxTools is great! In the image, sites that are non-impoundable by a 25-m dam are white and the darker blue a pixel is, the larger the upslope impoundment is. ISI could be used for siting #wetland construction projects, #riverrestoration, #flood modelling, #gully mapping, hydroelectric dam siting, and many other applications. #hydrology #spatialhydrology #topography #gis #gismapping #spatialanalysis #lidar

The EmbankmentMapping tool in #WhiteboxTools, transforms how DEMs are hydrologically corrected prior to analysis. This tool modifies fine #LiDAR DEMs by mapping and optionally removing road embankments that can present problems for some modelling. #DEMMapping #TransportationModeling #GIS #geospatial #QGIS #GeoNews #geomatics #gischat #hydrology #geomorphometry

The #WhiteboxTools Isobasins tool can be used to break landscapes into roughly equal-size sub-basins (i.e., 'isobasins'). There are many applications, but I often reach for this handy tool to map the spatial pattern of phenomena that have to be measured over an area (e.g., #relief, total #sediment #erosion/deposition, etc.), but where the boundary between the areal units of measurement must be physically meaningful. #gischat #geospatial #opensource #geopython

Have you ever needed to map building footprints from #lidar point cloud data? I cover how to do this in Tutorial 3 of my #Whitebox Workflows for #Python (WbW) series.

I've posted some Whitebox Workflows for Python (WbW) tutorials using Jupyter Notebooks that take users through hydrological and geomorphometric processing of DEM data.
