Developing a Semantic Model of Glacial Landforms for Object- Based Terrain Classification – the Example of Glacial Cirques

Earth surface processes operate on various spatio-temporal scales and produce landforms that are structured in a nested hierarchical manner. Semi-automated extraction of selected landform types from digital elevation models (DEMs) is of great importance in geomorphology. Object-based image analysis (OBIA) provides an attractive framework for multi-scale terrain segmentation and classification. ...

Rogen moraine: an example of glacial reshaping of pre-existing landforms

Rogen moraine is widely distributed in the core areas of the former Scandinavian and Laurentide ice sheets. It is generally agreed upon that these gently arched, ice-flow transverse ridges can be used in reconstructions of paleo-ice-flow patterns and that they indicate a melted-bed or poly-thermal basal ice regime. However, the processes of ridge generation have been contentious. This study pro...

Towards an Ontology of Landforms

The paper begins with the question “Do mountains exist?” It shows that providing an answer to this question is surprisingly difficult, and that the answer which one gives depends on the context in which the question is posed. Mountains clearly exist as real correlates of everyday human thought and action, and they form the archetype for geographic objects. Yet individual mountains lack many of ...
