Publisher Summary Geomorphometry is the science of quantitative land-surface analysis. It
evolved directly from geomorphology and quantitative terrain analysis, two disciplines that …

Geomorphometry is widely used to solve various multiscale geoscientific problems. For the
successful application of geomorphometric methods, a researcher should know the basic …

Techniques and issues are considered surrounding the characterisation of surface form
represented by Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). A set of software tools suitable for use in a …

This study used airborne laser altimetry (LiDAR) to examine the surface morphology of two
canyon-rim landslides in southern Idaho. The high resolution topographic data were used to …

Mandelbrot's fractal geometry has sparked considerable interest in the remote sensing
community since the publication of his highly influential book in 1977. Fractal models have …

Complex nonlinear dynamic systems are ubiquitous in the landscapes and phenomena
studied by earth sciences in general and by geomorphology in particular. Concepts of …

Driven by advances in technology and societal needs, the next frontier in remote sensing is
urban areas. With the advent of high-resolution imagery and more capable techniques, the …

In recent years, the wealth of technological development revolutionised our ability to collect
data in geosciences. Due to the unprecedented level of detail of these datasets …

In this study the fractal characteristics of fifty‐five digital elevation models from seven
different United States physiographic provinces are determined using seven methods. The …

Mandelbrot's fractal geometry is a revolution in topological space theory and, for the first
time, provides the possibility of simulating and describing landscapes precisely by using a …
