Abstract The upper Benue River watershed is undergoing remarkable modifications due to man-made and natural phenomena. Hence, an evaluation required understand the hydrological process of for planning management strategies. This study aimed assess morphometric characteristics prioritize watershed. boundary sub-watersheds, as well stream networks, was extracted from digital elevation model (DEM)...

iran is well known for having countless historical and instrumental records of tectonic events. shahriary catchment, as a study area, is part of the zagros collision seismic province. this research aimed to introduce a new method which is useful in identifying the relative active tectonic events of an area. the research method was designed in order to calculate the relative active tectonic inde...

in central part of kopeh dagh there is an array of active right-lateral strike-slip faults that obliquely cut the range and produce offsets of several kilometers in the geomorphology and geological structure. geomorphic indices indicate the presence of differential uplifting in history of this area. tectonic activity of the study area is investigated by a large number of dem derived catchments ...

Morphotectonic investigations were carried out by the use of morphometric indices which serve as a tool of identification in regions with active tectonic warp. Landforms in active deformation area are produced from relations of tectonic and surficial processes. One of the most significant landforms underground is rivers that are extremely responsive to tectonic movements mainly uplift and tilti...

In terrain mapping, there are so many ways to measure and estimate the terrain measurements like contouring, vertical profiling, hill shading, hypsometric tinting, perspective view, etc. Here in this paper we are using the contouring techniques to generate the contours for the different digital elevation data like DEM, HGT, IMG etc. The elevation data is captured in dem, hgt and img formats of ...

We describe a method to render a height field given on a triangular mesh in a manner that is similar to wellknown cartographic map views. This approach utilizes hypsometric tints and creates topographic contour lines procedurally as part of the rendering process. We discuss essential graphical enhancement techniques such as line smoothing, gradient compensation, contour line visibility fading, ...
