The aim of this paper is to explore the use of autoregressive maximum entropy spectral analysis for the construction of power spectra, and the use of these spectra for the calculation of fractal dimension for both simulated and real topographic
This study improves the understanding of the tree-limit phenomenon in general by identifying and analysing regional spatial patterns of the present-day tree-limit position (m a.s.l.) and structure of mountain birch along relevant topographical
A computer program has been developed to simulate two- or three-dimensional topographic change associated with aeolian sediment transport. This program includes a number of models and provides for interactive selection of a desired model combination
This study employs data from valley-bottom surveys, coring investigations, topographic maps, and aerial photographs to identify and explain spatial variations in historical alluviation along tributary streams in the Buffalo River watershed
) using a break of slope rule on downslope profiles. Each slope unit is an aggregated object of continuous pixels and is summarized with 5 suites of variables : shape, topography, topographic variability, spectral characteristics, and variability
The kinematics and extent of surface faulting are usually determined using observations on morphostructures, such as escarpments, and measurements of the net displacement of geologic deposits and topographic features, such as gullies and ridges
The longitudinal profiles of 24 rivers of 3rd to 5th order have been analyzed in order to recognize the regional tectonic differentiation pattern of the Ardenne, a Paleozoic massif of NW Europe. Data collected exclusively from 1/25,000 topographic
This paper provides field information on how and when hydrologic connectivity is built up in semi-arid hillslopes. Two complementary approaches have been followed : 1) the extent to which soil moisture content correlates with topographic attributes
and a manual interpretation of the contour data portrayed on topographic quadrangles. The need for such methods arises from efforts to classify types of landscapes (e.g. ecoregions) in Michigan.
This study describes and explains the spatial distribution of mass movement in the central Nepal Himalaya. Judgments were formulated on the origin and rates of mass movement using field evidence, topographic maps, geologic maps, and SPOT imagery
