This work presents a geomorphometric approach for outlining anomalies of the topographic
surface that may be related to geological structures or to geomorphological phenomena. It is …

Often, in hydrological processes, different (versioned) DEMs of the same area can provide
similar results. An example of a versioned DEM can be one that has a different cell size from …

The tectonic stresses that produced the uplift of Apennine chain ridge in southern Italy
generated advanced buried thrusts of allochthonous deposits that induced deformations of …

The algorithm we present here is useful for measuring the planimetric discrepancy between
two models which can be represented by contours. In cartography the paradigm of such …

The paper presents a compression method based on Principal Component Analysis applied
to reduce the volume of data in seabed Digital Terrain Model. Such data have to be …

The WGS84 ellipsoid is tessellated using quadrilaterals of roughly the same size. This tiling
is of general interest to global geographical information systems, but it has special relevance …

Average interpolating subdivision is a fast method for finding trends in data sets collected
with multibeam echo sounders. By grouping a suitable number of pings together, a swath is …

The identification and quantitative study of important geological discontinuities, like those
related to large landslides constitutes a paramount problem, which claims for a careful …
