| Definitionskos:definition | The study of the shape of the Earth's surface and its formative processes (modified from Harris and Baker, 2011). This may include, but is distinct from, geomorphometry - the science of quantitative terrain characterisation, which encompasses acquisition and processing of topographic data as well as analyses and applications related to geomorphology (see Lecours et al., 2016). “Marine Geomorphology” is used in specific reference to Part 2 GEOMORPHOLOGY (Nanson et al., 2023) and the UNITS defined therein. Cf. MORPHOMETRICS. |
