Published: 2017-10-31
Subjects: Earth Sciences, Geographic Information Sciences, Geography, Geomorphology, Other Earth Sciences, Physical Sciences and Mathematics, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Spatial Science, Tectonics and Structure
The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), was flow on Space Shuttle Endeavour in February 2000, with the objective of acquire a digital elevation model of all land between 60º north latitude and 56º south latitude, using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) techniques. SRTM data is distributed at horizontal resolution of 1 arc-second (aprox. 30m) for areas within the USA and at 3 [...]

A missão Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) foi realizada para mapear o relevo da área continental da Terra com interferometria de radar entre 60º de latitude norte e 54º de latitude sul. A utilização de Modelos Digitais de Elevação (MDEs) em geomorfologia permite o cálculo de variáveis associadas ao relevo com rapidez e precisão. Neste artigo, apresenta-se uma visão geral de aplicações dos [...]
SRTM-based morphotectonic analysis of the Poços de Caldas Alkaline Massif, southeastern Brazil
Published: 2017-10-30
Subjects: Earth Sciences, Geographic Information Sciences, Geography, Geomorphology, Physical Sciences and Mathematics, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Spatial Science, Tectonics and Structure
An evaluation of SRTM 03” data applicability in geomorphology and morphotectonics analysis is proposed, considering the morphometric parameters slope, aspect, surface roughness and isobase surface. The study area, in southeastern Brazil, comprises the Poços de Caldas Alkaline Massif, a 33km-diameter Late Cretaceous collapsed volcanic caldera. Morphometric indices evaluated showed the correlation [...]
Resampling SRTM 03”-data with kriging

Subjects: Computer Sciences, Earth Sciences, Geographic Information Sciences, Geography, Geomorphology, Physical Sciences and Mathematics, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Spatial Science
The purpose of this article is to present the steps necessary to improve the resolution of a DEM us- ing variogram modelling and kriging, as well as a brief comparison of the results with those obtained with interpolation by Regularised Splines with Ten- sion (RST).
r.roughness – a new tool for morphometric analysis in GRASS
Published: 2017-10-30
Subjects: Computer Sciences, Earth Sciences, Geographic Information Sciences, Geography, Geomorphology, Physical Sciences and Mathematics, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Spatial Science, Theory and Algorithms
This article briefly describes r.roughness, a shell script written to calculate the surface roughness of raster surfaces. The method is based on Hobson (1972), where roughness is defined as the ratio be- tween surface and plan area of square cells.
Trend-surfaces analysis of morphometric parameters: A case-study in southearstern Brazil
Published: 2017-10-30
Subjects: Earth Sciences, Geographic Information Sciences, Geography, Geomorphology, Other Earth Sciences, Physical Sciences and Mathematics, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Spatial Science, Tectonics and Structure
Trend-surface analysis was carried out on data from morphometric parameters isobase and hydraulic gradient. The study area, located in the eastern border of Quadrilátero Ferrífero, southeastern Brazil, presents four main geomorphological units, one characterized by fluvial dissection, two of mountainous relief, with a scarp of hundreds of meters of fall between them, and a flat plateau in the [...]
Morphometric analysis in Geographic Information Systems: applications of free software GRASS and R

Development and interpretation of morphometric maps are important tools in studies related to neotectonics and geomorphology; Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allows speed and precision to this process, but applied methodology will vary according to available tools and degree of knowledge of each researcher about involved software. A methodology to integrate GIS and statistics in morphometric [...]
