This is the home page of the International Society for
Geomorphometry (ISG). ISG is a non-commercial, nongovernmental
association of researchers and experts that are open for free
exchange of knowledge and opinions about various aspects of DEM
processing. The iams of the ISG are:    1. To improve
understanding of the properties of the land surface, as analysed
quantitatively from Digital Elevation Models and from digital or
paper maps;   2. To advance the techniques used in land surface
(terrain) analysis;   3. To foster international collaboration
in the quantitative analysis of the land surface;   4. To run a
web site (geomorphometry.org) to facilitate communication
between scientists and students, advertise relevant conferences
and make available public-domain data sets and scientific
papers;   5. To promote international conferences on
geomorphometry and digital terrain analysis, initially every two
years.  What is geomorphometry?  Geomorphometry is the science
of quantitative land-surface analysis (also
