Scales and Hierarchies in Landform Classification
Project overview
The overall objective of this project is to provide a coherent framework of nested hierarchical organization of topography for modeling purposes. In order to address this important topic, not only for geomorphometry, but all fields that need morphometry as a boundary condition, innovative techniques supported by fieldwork will be developed and applied. The methodology will 1. differentiate characteristic scales associated with specific parameters and parameters behaviour across scales; 2. test the significance of morphometric patterns across scales; 3. set up a nested hierarchy of landforms, both morphometrically and morphologically relevant
