☝️ What happens when you treat terrain morphometry like satellite bands?
⚙️ An experimental RGB composite of an industrial micro-catchment in Kryvyi Rih, synthesized directly from DEM hydro-conditioned derivatives:
🔹 Red: Channel Network Distance (hydraulic connectivity)
🔹 Green: Total Catchment Area / Flow Accumulation (upscale contributing mass)
🔹 Blue: LS-Factor / Slope Length-Steepness (RUSLE physical erosion capacity).
⚙️ The color mixing immediately separates the basin into physical domains:
🔹 Bright magenta/neon ribbons: Critical erosion and transport vectors where steep slope length converges with active channel flow.
🔹 Vibrant green zones: Planar accumulation sectors and potential geochemical sedimentation traps.
🔹 Dark interfluves: Geomorphologically stable plateau surfaces.
