Digital Terrain Analysis in Soil Science and Geology, Third Edition, synthesizes the knowledge on methods and applications of digital terrain analysis and geomorphometry in the context of multi-scale problems in soil science and geology. Divided into four parts, the examining the main concepts, principles, and methods of digital terrain modeling; methods for analysis, modeling, and mapping of spatial distribution; techniques for recognition, analysis, and interpretation of topographically manifested geological features; and finally the brand new fourth part investigates polar research. Digital Terrain Analysis in Soil Science and Geology, Third Edition, is an updated and revised edition, providing both a theoretical and methodological basis for understanding and applying geographical modeling techniques. Presents an integrated and unified view of digital terrain analysis in both soil science and geologyIncludes a rigorous description of the mathematical principles of digital terrain analysisProvides both a theoretical and methodological basis for understanding and applying geographical modelingAdds a brand new section on Digital Terrain Modeling in polar research, as well as updated information, methods and figures from previous edition chapters INDICE: 1.
