Multifractal earth topography
This paper shows how modern ideas of scaling can be used to model topography with various morphologies and also to accurately characterize topography over wide ranges of scales. Our argument is divided in two parts. We first survey the main topographic models and show that they are based on convolutions of basic structures (singularities) with noises. Focusing on models with large numbers of de...
متن کاملScaling and multifractal fields in the solid earth and topography
Starting about thirty years ago, new ideas in nonlinear dynamics, particularly fractals and scaling, provoked an explosive growth of research both in modeling and in experimentally characterizing geosystems over wide ranges of scale. In this review we focus on scaling advances in solid earth geophysics including the topography. To reduce the review to manageable proportions, we restrict our att...
متن کاملThematic Maps of Martian Topography Generated by a Clustering
We have developed a method for autonomous construction of thematic maps of Martian terrain from digital topography. These maps show spatial distribution of topographical features and are generated by a computer algorithm that classifies pixels on the basis of topographical information they carry. We apply our technique to generate a thematic map of Tisia Valles region on Mars. Introduction. The...
متن کاملEstimates of Martian crustal thickness from viscous relaxation of topography
Isosta.tica,lly compensated crusta,1 thickness variations and associated topographic contrasts a,t the surface of a planet result in lateral pressure gradients, which may cause the lower crust to flow and reduce the relief. Areas of thicker crust are genera, lly associated with more rapid relaxation of topography. On Mars, topographic features such as impa, ct basins a, nd the hemispheric dicho...
متن کاملExtraction of Martian valley networks from digital topography
[1] We have developed a novel method for delineating valley networks on Mars. The valleys are inferred from digital topography by an autonomous computer algorithm as drainage networks, instead of being manually mapped from images. Individual drainage basins are precisely defined and reconstructed to restore flow continuity disrupted by craters. Drainage networks are extracted from their underly...
