Digital terrain analysis to predict soil spatial patterns at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest
Topographic analysis using digital elevation models (DEMs) has become commonplace in soil and hydrologic modeling and analysis and there has been considerable assessment of the effects of grid resolution on topographic metrics using DEMs of 10 m resolution or coarser. However, examining fine-scale …

Intra-field Nitrogen Estimation for Wheat and Corn using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-based and Satellite Multispectral Imagery, Plant Biophysical Variables, Field Properties, and Machine Learning Methods
… (VI), crop height, leaf area index (LAI), field topographic metrics, and soil properties to predict canopy nitrogen weight (g/m2) of corn and wheat fields in southwestern Ontario, Canada. Random Forests (RF) and Support Vector Regression (SVR) machine learning models were tested with combinations …

Characterizing and modeling wet stream length dynamics in Appalachian headwaters
… physiographic province at high and low runoffs. Topographic metrics derived from elevation data were able to explain the discontinuous pattern of headwater streams at different flow conditions with high classification accuracy. Finally, I used flow intermittency sensors in a single Valley and …

From phantom blocks to denudational noise
… markedly until ~150–200 km downstream of the topographic plateau margin we conclude that incision into the Tibetan Plateau is inactive. -> Comparing our postglacial Be-10-derived denudation rates to long-term (>10^6 yr) estimates from low-temperature thermochronometry, ranging from 100 to 750 …

Object-based image analysis for detecting landforms diagnostic of natural hazards
… data. Previous studies have reported that topographic metrics such as roughness, which can be captured from digital elevation data, can reveal landforms diagnostic of natural hazards, such as gullies, dunes, lava fields, landslides and snow avalanches, as these landforms tend to be more …

Fault interaction at different time- and length scales : the North Tehran thrust and Mosha-Fasham fault (Alborz mountains, Iran)
… In contrast, composite landscapes contain topographic elements inherited from previous tectonic conditions that are inconsistent with the regional present-day stress field and kinematic style. Using numerical fault-interaction modeling with different tectonic boundary conditions, I …
