For understanding the spatiotemporal characteristics of terrestrial phenomena and processes, the author provides morphological approaches and algorithms to:
- Retrieve unique geomorphologic networks and certain terrestrial features
- Analyze various geomorphological phenomena and processes via a host of scaling laws and the scale-invariant but shape-dependent indices
- Simulate the fractal-skeletal-based channel network model and the behavioral phases of geomorphologic systems based on the interplay between numeric and graphic analyses
- Detect strategically significant sets and directional relationships via quantitative spatial reasoning
- Visualize spatiotemporal behavior and generate contiguous maps via spatial interpolation
Incorporating peer-reviewed content, this book offers simple explanations that enable readers—even those with no background in mathematical morphology—to understand the material. It also includes easy-to-follow equations and many helpful illustrations that encourage readers to implement the ideas.
