This book provides a thorough introduction to the use of remotely sensed data for wetland
classification and map**, as well as information on the latest technological advancements …

Soil moisture controls environmental processes and species distributions, but it is difficult to
measure and interpolate across space. Topographic Wetness Index (TWI) derived from …

The opportunities of retrieving geospatial datasets as open data and the reliability of Free
and Open Source Software (FOSS) GIS increased the possibilities of performing a large …

Gridded digital elevation data, often referred to as DEMs, are one of the most widely
available forms of environmental data. Topographic analysis of DEMs can take many forms …

The geographic distribution of streams and rivers drives a multitude of patterns and
processes in hydrology, geomorphology, geography, and ecology. Therefore, a …

Topography is an important determinant of soil moisture (SM) distribution and thus drives the
functioning of terrestrial ecosystems, including vegetation composition and structure. To …

The development of susceptibility maps for debris flows is of primary importance due to
population pressure in hazardous zones. However, hazard assessment by process-based …

Abstract The Topographic Wetness Index (TWI) is a commonly used proxy for soil moisture.
The predictive capability of TWI is influenced by the flow‐routing algorithm and the …

Predicting gully erosion at the continental scale is challenging with current generation
models. Moreover, datasets reflecting gully erosion processes are still rather scarce …

Susceptibility assessments are crucial in identifying hazards in densely populated mountain
areas featuring active internal and external dynamic geological processes. A …
