Book synopsis

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, description and visualization of topography, and a wide variety of numerical analyses. It focuses on the continuous land-surface, although it also includes the analysis of landforms, discrete features, such as watersheds. The operational goal of geomorphometry is extraction of measures and spatial features from digital topography. Since the publication of the book in 2009 the editors have observed huge improvement in all aspect of the book (e.g., available data production methods, data itself, software and the usage of it). The editors as the responsible editors propose therefore to publish a second edition of the book, keeping a similar structure. Geomorphometry: Concepts, Software, Applications, Second Edition aims to inform, educate and help users in the field to find their way around and reach with that a larger audience by sharing the knowledge from the Geomorphometry community.

• Includes unique consolidation of theoretical background, software applications and applications in the field
• Provides researchers with the unique opportunity to gain a complete overview within a single book not limited to a single software or single perspective
• Shows content that is written in close collaboration with the members of the International Society of Geomorphometry
