Digital Terrain Analysis in Soil Science and Geology offers an integrated and mathematically-sound source for decision making in digital terrain modeling. The book synthesizes the knowledge on theory, methods, and applications of digital terrain modeling and geomorphometry in the context of multi-scale problems of soil science and geology. Divided into three sections - 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 the principles, methods, and application of digital terrain analysis by a single author who is actively researching in the field and has published a number of fundamental papers Strong mathematical theory underlying principles and methods of digital terrain analysis, providing a basis for reproducibility and correctness of its application in any region of the world Examples in soil science and geology Examples at a wide range of scales: "plot - field - region - continent - globe".
