Digital elevation model uncertainty and hazard analysis using a geophysical flow model

Uncertainty in Digital Elevation Data Used For Geophysical Flow Simulation

Elevation information plays a crucial role in simulations of geophysical flows providing the slope and curvature information required to solve a series of differential equations. Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) used as simulation input diverge in resolution, acquisition time and generation methodology. When more than one elevation data set is available, they can be analyzed to provide an estima...

Geomorphometric Analysis of Maroon River by Digital Elevation Model

Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are used to estimate different morphologies, analysis of river profile, delineating drainage basin and drainage pattern associated with lithological and structural changes. The study area is Maroon River located in Khuzestan Province, Iran. In this study geomorphometric analysis based on DEM carried out to understand Maroon river uplift rate and tectonic- erosion...

Analysis and Investigation of Landslide Hazard Zoning using Hybrid Model of Hierarchical Analysis and Surface Density

Identification of susceptible areas to landslide occurrence is one of the basic measures for reduction of the possible risk and hazard management. The main goal of this research is to compare the applicability of two statistical landslide hazard zonation models, valuing area accumulation and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP),in Ziarat Watershed, Gorgan, Golestan Province.In a review of previou...

Digital Elevation Model Error in Terrain Analysis

Wavelet-Based Digital Elevation Model Analysis

Estimations of the local roughness of Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) have been used both for a better geological understanding of terrain structures and for a more accurate DEM interpolation leading to higher resolution terrain maps. This work investigates two fractal dimension estimators for the characterization of the roughness of DEMs: the power spectrum estimator and the wavelet-based esti...
