Digital terrain analysis in soil science and geology This book is the first attempt to synthesize knowledge on theory methods and applications of digital terrain analysis in the context of multiscale problems of soil science and geology. The content of the book is based on long standing interdisciplinary research of the author. The book is addressed to geomorphometrists soil scientists geologists geoscientists geomorphologists geographers and GIS scientists (at scholar lecturer and postgraduate student levels with mathematical skills). This book is also intended for the GIS professionals in industry and research laboratories focusing on geoscientific and soil research. The book is divided into three parts. Part I represents main concepts principles and methods of digital terrain modeling. Part II discusses various aspects of the use of digital terrain analysis in soil science. Part III looks at applications of digital terrain modeling in geology
