Geomorphometry-Automatic Landform Classification
In the past, landforms were represented in physiographic and morphometric maps by hand drawing. With developments in digital elevation models (DEM), geographic information systems (GIS) and image analyses, automatic extraction of landforms from morphological parameters and data storage in databases is now possible and are actively utilized in various ...

Abstract The study of planetary surface processes has traditionally relied on the manual interpretation of spacecraft images. While manual image analysis methods are robust and well‐established, they become impractical when the volume of available data is large and may introduce observer bias.

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Classification and Characteristics of the Distribution of Glacial Landforms in the Japanese Alps.
Glaciations during the Last Glacial in the Japanese Alps can be classified “azonal glaciation” and “zonal glaciation”. The ELAg (geomorphological equilibrium line altitude) of each former type of glacier is determined by Hs (height of summit), and is depressed by microclimatological phenomena such as drifted snow.
