Basin shape and river sinuosity determine water and sediment dynamics, affecting landscape evolution and connectivity between ecosystems and freshwater species. However, a high-resolution global dataset for the boundaries and geometry of basins is still missing. Using a 90 m resolution digital elevation model, we measured the areas, lengths, widths, aspect ratios, slopes, and elevations of basins over 50 km2 globally. Additionally, we calculated the lengths and sinuosities of the longest river channels within these 0.67 million basins. We built a new global dataset, Basin90m, to present the basins and rivers, as well as their morphological metrics. To highlight the use cases of Basin90m, we explored the correlations among morphological metrics, such as Hack’s law. By comparing with HydroSHEDS, HydroATLAS, and Google Earth images, we demonstrated the high accuracy of Basin90m. Basin90m, available in shapefile format, can be used on various GIS platforms, including QGIS, ArcGIS, and GeoPandas. Basin90m has substantial application prospects in geomorphology, hydrology, and ecology. Basin90m is available at https://doi.org/10.5880/GFZ.4.6.2023.004 (He et al., 2023). |
