- Geomorphologically mapped data form a set of observations that can be exploited as complementary useful data sets in many Earth Sciences disciplines. Moreover, quantitative data analysis methods for delimiting the landform boundaries from satellite imagery and/or digital elevation models (DEMs) represents a key point for geomorphologic units mapping.
In this framework, the paper presents a relatively new morphometric classification method based on the statistical multivariate investigation of local topographic gradients, calculated along the 8 azimuth directions of each pixel neighbourhood of a DEM. Such approach quickly estimates the spatial distribution of different types of homogeneous terrain units, emphasizing the impact of erosional and tectonic processes on the overall relief. Different case history studies, depicting geological, environmental and archaeological applications, will be discussed. (literal)
