New book on “Digital Terrain Analysis”
New book on Digital Terrain Analysis for soil and geology science by Igor Florinsky (Institute of Mathematical Problems of Biology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Pushchino, Russia) has been recently published via Elsevier. It includes sections on historical perspectives of digital terrain analysis and an introduction to theoretical concepts, examples of using DEMs for soil predictive mapping, and in geology e.g. to represent tectonic structures lineaments and faults. Book can be ordered via Amazon or directly via Elsevier’s website. A table of content is available via author’s homepage.
World as a potato? After just two years in orbit, ESA’s GOCE satellite has gathered enough data to map Earth’s gravity with unrivaled precision. Scientists now have access to the most accurate model of the ‘geoid’ ever produced to further our understanding of how Earth works. With a bit of exaggeration, one would get an idea that our globe is a large potato. The map of gravity undulations can be downloaded from here. See also the complete video about the project.
