Estimating Coastal Digital Elevation Model Uncertainty

Elevation Uncertainty in Coastal Inundation Hazard Assessments

Coastal inundation has been identified as an important natural hazard that affects densely populated and built-up areas (Subcommittee on Disaster Reduction, 2008). Inundation, or coastal flooding, can result from various physical processes, including storm surges, tsunamis, intense precipitation events, and extreme high tides. Such events cause quickly rising water levels. When rapidly rising w...

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...

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...
