This lecture introduces thematic variables derived from digital altitude models, enabling analysis with slope, orientation, and curvature measurements. Applications include visibility analysis in ecology, assessing construction impact, and calculating potential solar energy. Digital altitude models are crucial in hydrology for calculating drainage lines and watershed delimitation, as demonstrated through examples in flood prevention, landslides, rockslides, urban planning, and public health.
