We consider that our geomorphic analyses (which also include topographic profiles and morphometric maps) are still valid.
The morphometric maps obtained represent peculiarities of the Mercurian topography in different ways, according to the physical and mathematical sense of a particular variable.
Our results suggest that this approach can be used to generate quantitatively rigorous morphometric maps to guide field-based sedimentological and geophysical investigations, which tend to use purposive sampling techniques resulting in bias and error.
This study directly compares morphological features of the mouse heart in its end-relaxed state based on constructed morphometric maps and atlases using principal component analysis in C57BL/6J (n=8) and DBA (n=5) mice.
Recent biomechanical modelling, based on morphometric mapping of the mesentery, indicated that approximately 40% of the mesenteric circulation is contained in venules, which represent the bulk of the mesenteric microcirculation [ 53].
Geologic mapping, morphometric characterization, and statistical analyses of six venusian shield fields: insights into the processes related to their formation / Cole Nypaver, Nicholas P. Lang, and Bradley J. Thomson.
Field investigation (geomorphic mapping, morphometric analyses) and GIS based analyses of historical data show that slope channel coupling is much less efficient than in the past, mainly due to the decrease of unpaved road network, especially roads linked directly with streams.
Morphometric measures were mapped to the inflated surface of each brain reconstruction, allowing the optimal visualization in both sulcal and gyral regions across the entire neocortex without being obscured by cortical folding.
Earlier studies successfully applied conventional methods of morphometric characterization based on map measurements or field surveys (e.g., Horton 1932, 1945; Strahler 1952, 1954, 1957, 1964); however, it has been recognized that such methods of generating information especially for large watersheds are expensive, time-consuming, labor intensive and tedious.
For morphometric analysis using topographic maps, remote sensing, SRTM data and GIS techniques are speedy, precise, fast and less expensive (Farr and Kobrick 2000; Grohmann et al. 2007).
