lakemorpho

lakemorpho is a software tool that automatically extracts lake morphometry metrics from spatial data. It allows users to easily calculate various lake shape and size metrics, such as surface area, shoreline length, maximum depth, and volume. lakemorpho makes it possible to efficiently gather morphometric data for many lakes by using digital elevation models and lake polygon shapefiles as inputs. This tool helps address the challenge of limited data availability that hinders broad-scale modeling in limnology by providing an accessible means to derive key lake characteristics without relying on field measurements.
