Computer-based geomorphometry using a DEM (Digital Elevation Model) allows the
analysis of the three-dimensional properties of landscape. This methodology is particularly …

The aim of this work is to test an integrated quantitative geomorphic approach based on
Stream Length–Gradient Index (SL Index) analysis within the small catchment of the Tarugo …

A morphometric analysis of drainage networks and relief using geomorphic indices and
geostatistical analyses of topographical data are useful tools for discussing the …

The stream lengthgradient index (SL) shows the variation in stream power along river
reaches. This index is very sensitive to changes in channel slope, thus allowing the …

Fluvial terraces are a powerful tool for unraveling the combined tectonic and climatic
conditions that controlled, directly or indirectly, the Quaternary incision of rivers. Terrace long …

Watershed management and headwater reconstruction programs require a reliable
knowledge of sediment dynamics. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) provide the …

Traditional manual methods have been employed for decades to measure geomorphometric
properties from topographic maps. Such measurement techniques tend to be tedious and …

One of the important problems in hydrology is the quantitative description of river system
structure and the identification of relationships between geomorphological properties and …

Digital data on the position and characteristics of river networks and catchments are
important for the analysis of pressures and impacts on water resources. GIS tools allow for …

Tectonics modify the base-level of rivers and result in the progressive erosion of landscapes.
We propose here a new method to classify landscapes according to their erosional stages …
