-produced digital elevation data have revitalized geomorphometry. The discipline's state-of-art now includes some 60 discernible topics and activities, for which the A. suggests a en-fold organization.
A new method for defining the extent of a mountain, mountain ordering, is proposed, and is used to examine the morphological characteristics of a set of ordered mountains in northern Japan. As an example of geomorphometry based on the method
This paper examines the application of fractal concepts to geomorphometry. The correlations between the fractal dimension (D) and the 24 traditional morphometric parameters used in this study are all very weak. This suggests that the fractal

Le but de la géomorphométrie assistée par ordinateur est de quantifier les formes du relief par des attributs, des objets et des fonctions géométriques et topologiques. Un des défis actuels est le développement de théories et de méthodes pour

A leader in geomorphometry in the 1950's and '60's, the American geographer W.F. Wood published little in the open literature. His best known work was a numerical system of terrain description. This paper reviews Wood's many contributions and lists
L'analyse d'un relevé spéléologique est utilisée pour montrer le comportement fractal de la longueur de la grotte (dimensions 1-1,5 pour une résolution de 1 à 100 m). Utilité pour la géomorphométrie karstique souterraine.
