Terrain analysis has been an active study field for years and attracted research studies from geographers, surveyors, engineers and computer scientists. With the rapid growth of Geographical Information System (GIS) technology, particularly the establishment of high resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEM) atnational level, the challenge is now focused on delivering justifiable socio-economical and environmental benefits. The contributions in this book represent the state of the art of terrain analysis methods and techniques in areas of digital representation, morphological and hydrological models, uncertainty andapplications of terrain analysis. Presents the state of the art of terrain analysis methods and techniques in areas of digital representation, morphological and hydrological models, uncertainty and applications of terrain analysis INDICE: From the contents Digital Representation for Terrain Analysis.- Morphological Terrain Analysis.- Hydrological Terrain Analysis.- Uncertainty in Terrain Analysis.- Applications of Terrain Analysis.- Concluding Remarks.
