Terrain Analysis
Slope (Landslide susceptibility) Aspect (Solar insolation, vegetation) Catchment or dispersal area (Runoff
volume, soil drainage)
Flow path (Distance of water flow to point) Profiles, fence diagrams Viewshed (visibility) Indices (e.g., TPI/BPI, rugosity)

Slope Definitions
Slope defined as an angle or rise over horizontal run or rise over actual run various methods
important to know how your favorite GIS calculates slope
Aspect
tan (aspect) = b/c
b denotes slope in the x direction c denotes slope in the y direction

Angle between vertical and direction of steepest slope Measured clockwise add 180 to aspect if c is positive, 360 to aspect if c is negative and b is positive

Measure of where a point is in the overall land- or seascape Compares elevation of cell to mean elevation of neighborhood
Algorithm compares each cells elevation to the mean elevation of the surrounding cells in an annulus or ring.
resolution = 3 m
irad = 2 cells (6 m)
orad = 4 cells (12 m) scalefactor = resolution * orad = 36 m Negative bpi = depression Positive bpi = crest Zero bpi = constant slope or flat

(1) Crests
(3) Flats
(2) Depressions
if (B-BPI >= 100) out_zones = 1
(4) Slopes
else if (B-BPI > -100 and B-BPI < 100 and slope <= gentle) out_zones = 3
4. Depression on crest
5. Broad depression with an open bottom 12. Narrow crest 6. Broad flat 7. Shelf 13. Steep slope
