Satellite-Derived River Mobility for Ten Philippine Catchments, 1988-2019

1988-2019 satellite-derived geomorphic river mobility data for ten catchments in the Philippines, quantifying locational probabilities across 600 km² of riverbed. The dataset includes processed outputs and example analysis codes for Google Earth Engine and MATLAB, supported by NERC and DOST-PCIEERD.

Use Cases

• Analyze locational probability outputs to model river channel migration and predict flood hazards in dynamic Philippine landscapes.
• Apply provided Google Earth Engine codes to replicate satellite imagery analyses for riverbed mapping in other regions.
• Use the longitudinal analysis MATLAB codes and data to study temporal trends in geomorphic river mobility across the ten catchments.
• Map the proportion of time a river channel occupies a location using the processed locational probability outputs for hazard resilience planning.

Strengths

• Covers 31 years of temporal data from 1988 to 2019.
• Quantifies satellite-derived locational probabilities for 600 km² of riverbed area.
• Includes example analysis codes for both Google Earth Engine and MATLAB to support replication and extension.

Limitations

• Limited to ten specific catchments in the Philippines, reducing geographic generalizability.
• Dataset structure and specific variables (e.g., row/column counts) are not detailed in the input.
