Abstract
: 
"Digital terrain modeling has been a research area for more than 40 years in geosciences and has become a rather self-contained subject. Digital terrain models have found wide applications, and Digital Terrain Modeling: Principles and Methodology is the only book to provide comprehensive coverage of recent developments in the field." "The authors present the information at a medium level of technical detail, so the volume is suitable for use as an MSc-level GIS textbook, or for researchers and practitioners in geosciences."--BOOK JACKET.
