    Extractions: Stony Brook-Setauket-Port Jefferson Area Gilbert N. Hanson Last updated on October 04, 2007 High resolution digital elevation models are available for the State of New York including Long Island. These have a horizontal resolution of 10 meters and are based on 7.5' topographic maps. For those quadrangles with 10' contour intervals, interpolation results in elevations with an uncertainty of about 4'. The appearance is as if one were viewing color-enhanced images of a barren terrain, for example Mars. This allows one to see much greater detail than is possible on a standard topographic map. The images shown on this web site have a much lower resolution than are obtainable from the files directly. Digital Elevation Models for Long Island and surrounding area can be downloaded as self extracting zip files at http://www.geo.sunysb.edu/reports/dem_2/dems/ A ca. five foot long version (jpg) of the DEM of Long Island (see above except with scale and north arrow) for printing can be downloaded at this link .

71. Remote Sensing Tutorial Page 17-1
    He realized then that a whole new branch of geomorphology the study of landforms - which he termed Megageomorphology could be developed from space  
    http://rst.gsfc.nasa.gov/Sect17/Sect17_1.html
    
    Extractions: In much of the preceding 16 sections, the impression is gained that remote sensing is directed towards applications. But, in truth, sensors detecting electromagnetic radiation have been one of the dominant data acquisition and analyzing devices in a wide range of (basic) scientific research. Witness the vital role remote sensing is given in observing and measuring the planets in our Solar System, and even more so, in all other things astronomical. This will be addressed in detail in Sections 19 and 20. The primary thrust of the Tutorial to this point has dwelled on applications - the practical use of remote sensing to oversee conditions or solve problems dealing with the Earth's environments and manmade infrastructures. The emphasis has therefore been on the status of land and water surfaces, and on the overlying atmosphere, insofar as these affect human activities. The payoff from this monitoring is a better understanding of and interaction with (usually changing) events which influence our lives - food production, deforestation, urban expansion, mineral extraction, movement and severity of major storms, flooding, ocean nutrient detection, industrial site selection, to name a few - occurring at both regional and local scales that are readily observable from space. We don't classify most of the applications, such as those above involving use of remote sensing, under a heading of "Basic Science" studies, although principles of science, such as the physics of electromagnetic radiation, are involved. Purists may argue that information about space "observables," such as determining ozone distribution worldwide, measuring heat flow in the oceans, and observing the biomes and their seasonal variation over the continents, augments the subject matter normally associated with basic science.

    Extractions: Digital shaded relief map of the United States. Click here to enlarge (35 MB). The richly textured landscape of the United States is a product of the dueling forces of plate tectonics, weathering and erosion. Over the 4.5 billion-year history of our Earth, tectonic upheavals and colliding plates have raised great mountain ranges while the forces of erosion and weathering worked to tear them down. Even after many millions of years, records of Earth's great upheavals remain imprinted as textural variations and surface patterns that define distinctive landscapes or provinces. topographic relief ) result from a variety of processes acting on the underlying rock. As you might guess, the plate tectonic history of a region strongly influences the rock type and structure exposed at the surface, but differences in rates of weathering and erosion that accompany changing climates have a profound impact on the land too. If you spend a moment observing the map above you will probably be able to distinguish the boundaries between several geologic provinces test your observational skills

    Extractions: Geomorphic (surface) mapping The landscape, carefully observed, tells the story of its own making. Glacially scoured upland, diffusionally softened ridgecrest, landslide, alluvial river bottomcollectively they record a sequence of processes and events that led to the present landforms. The hills are not unchanging! An effective way to read the landscape is to make a geomorphic map that shows the distribution of different surface units. The map guides and documents interpretations of the age and genesis of these units. Geomorphic maps are not geologic maps, as they do not show the distribution of rocks and sedimentary deposits. Where surface units correspond to underlying rocks or sediments, the geomorphic map is a useful proxy for a geologic map. The geomorphic map can also show parts of Earth history that the geologic map is blind to: geologic maps are limited by the depositional record, whereas geomorphic maps can demonstrate history that leaves an erosional record only. Traditionally, geomorphologists (geologists who study the shape of the land) examined the landscape with their own eyes in the field and indirectly via air photos and topographic maps. This has been an imprecise process because these tools, especially in wooded areas, have not fully shown the shape of the land. Transferring interpretations from a field view or a photo to a base map is tedious and often imprecise. Lidar topographyaccurate, highly detailed, fully geo-referenced, and digitalwill revolutionize interpretation of the landscape.

    Extractions: This document illustrates the methods and tools integrated with GRASS GIS which support spatial analysis of relationship between soil properties, topography and erosion processes in 3D space and time. The study area is located at experimental farm near Munchen, Germany. Detailed survey was performed in this area resulting in approx. 2000 points with elevation data and 400 points with soil core data. Point data were transformed to 2D raster maps using using regularized spline with tension implemented in GRASS as s.surf.tps . The following images and movies show the spatial distribution of data and selected raster maps representing terrain and soil horizons, visualized in 3D space as combination of multiple surfaces, color, cutting panes, transparency and points. Elevation surface and sampling points Location of soil cores Soil horizons represented by multiple surfaces Slicing through the horizons (movie - 125Kb) (movie - 125Kb) Flow related topographic parameters needed for hillslope erosion modeling are computed by flow tracing program r.flow
