A research team has developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled method, named RivDepth, that can map river depth across long reaches with high sediment concentration, areas where conventional satellite bathymetry often struggles. The model combines Sentinel-2 satellite spectral information with an optically derived suspended sediment concentration (SSC) proxy to retrieve water depth pixel by pixel. Tested on the lower Yellow River, one of …
