Abstract
Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) digital data have been enhanced to provide an understanding of the hydrological character of water bodies, stream channels, and glacial ice within Glacier National Park, Montana. A USGS digital elevation model (DEM) was processed to further augment the hydrological database for the park. The enhanced TM and DEM data were merged within a geographic information system (GIS) framework to facilitate their comparison and utility as hydrologic thematic overlays. The approach of integrating enhanced digital satellite data and DEM data in a GIS framework proved to be valuable in understanding the hydrologic processes in complex and rugged topography.
