An experience of local geoinformation system application to automated studies of inherited features in topograph

Abstract

Different approaches are considered to define the notion of «inheritance of topography». A proposed technique of morphological inheritance studies is based on hypsometric analysis of relief dated to different epochs. The paleo-relief reconstruction and following procedures are automated by the use of geoinformation system of the key area. The studies result in a map of types of inheritance, three type of inherited topography and two types of inversed topography being recognised.
