Chapter 1 Geomorphometry: A Brief Guide
2009Publisher Summary Geomorphometry is the science of quantitative land-surface analysis. It evolved directly from geomorphology and quantitative terrain analysis, two disciplines that originated in 19th century geometry, physical geography, and the measurement of mountains. Modern geomorphometry addresses the refinement and processing of elevation data,

Chapter 14 Geomorphometry in LandSerf
2009Publisher Summary This chapter examines three approaches in which LandSerf can be used to consider scale dependencies in land-surface parameters. Firstly, standard land-surface parameters, such as slope and curvature are measured at any arbitrary scale; a scale determined by setting the local window size over which the parameter is estimated ...
