Lecture

Derived Variables: Digital Elevation Models

Description

This lecture introduces the main global topography indicators and explains the calculation of parameters derived from elevation models, such as slope, aspect, and curvature. Different algorithms for slope and aspect calculation are discussed, along with the effect of window size on smoothing and generalizing. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to calculate various global topography indicators and parameters from digital elevation models.
