Von der hinteren Coverseite

Digital Terrain Analysis in Soil Science and Geology offers an integrated and mathematically-sound source for digital terrain modeling – its theory, methods, and applications in the context of multi-scale problems of soil science and geology.

Divided into three parts – Principles and Methods of Digital Terrain Modeling, Digital Terrain Modeling in Soil Science, and Digital Terrain Modeling in Geology – this book features:

• An integrated, first-hand view of digital terrain analysis by an expert scholar in the field
• Rigorous mathematical theory providing the correct framework for digital terrain modeling
• Soil and geological examples at a wide range of spatial scales
