Global High-Resolution River Centerlines
High-resolution river centerlines vector shapefiles has 50 large rivers across the world. This high-resolution layer was generated will enable researchers to identify accurate river length, from headwaters to delta. The polylines could be used in coordination with any satellite-derived environmental or landscape variables for ecological research.
