GIS ─ application to make geomorphometric analysis in raster data
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an approach to identify some geomorphometrical characteristics of raster geo-images based on a Geographic Information System (GIS). The characteristic identification involves the generation of raster layers, topographic ruggedness and drainage density. In a sense, the topographic ruggedness is used to express the amount of elevation difference between adjacent cells of the Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Moreover, the topographic ruggedness is presented by means of a Terrain Ruggedness Index (TRI). We use the Spline Interpolation Method to obtain the density layers. These layers are used to represent the amount of geographic linear objects in a specific area. The algorithm has been implemented into GIS – ArcInfo, and applied for a GIS of Tamaulipas State, Mexico.

Planetary Remote Sensing and Gis: the Convergence of Software, Techniques
Introduction: Geographic information systems (GIS), and more specifically remote sensing, have been used within the geosciences for well over two decades. In that time, the ability to handle a variety of increasingly voluminous data (both vector and raster) has allowed continued data analysis and exploitation within mainstream GIS. The uptake and use of GIS has not been mirrored within the plan...

Cushion peatlands are typical features of the high altitude Andes in South America. Due to the adaptation to difficult environmental conditions, they are very fragile ecosystems and therefore vulnerable to environmental and climate changes. Peatland erosion has severe effects on their ecological functions, such as water storage capacity. Thus, erosion monitoring is highly advisable. Erosion qua...
