GIS in the ecological-geomorphologic applications

Abstract

A good deal of geomorphologic GIS-applications is based on digital relief modeling. The calculating of derivative morphometric characteristics, the tracing of structural lines of relief, the compiling its 3-d models including virtual ones are within the capacity of GIS software. The method of map compiling including the case of Internet media is illustrated by series of examples. Those are maps of hazardous processes (natural and man induced) damage on the territory of Russia, maps of ecologic-geomorphology situations within the regions of Russian Federation and other elements of cite "Regional Safety" (http:www.ihst.ru/project-link/rs).
