Scripting languages for geomorphological modelling and topographic visualization of Serbia

Scripting cartographic technique is a new method of geospatial data visualization - especially with thematic mapping such as geomorphological models. The purpose this study was to explore the use Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) and R for topographic Serbia using free open datasets (DEM, SRTM/ GEBCO, OpenStreetMap). Current trend in education research distance-based online-based suggests that application high-resolution modelling by source toolsets are more likely result deep analysis geomorphology Balkans associated geographic phenomena: hydrology, soils, vegetation, geology. Presented fragments scripts aim demonstrate technical usage GMT coding workflow case on Serbia. Using qualitative descriptive approach visualize slope, aspect terrain elevations over country ?raster? package provided R, it found spatially differs southern northern parts resulting regional geologic evolution tectonic dynamics Balkan formation. presented maps portrayed general distribution landforms Serbian region Balkans. contributes methodological development testing techniques well environmental studies
