| Summary: | Regional geomorphological research is an important part of regional geography research. In recent decades, digital terrain analysis has been widely used in regional geomorphology research. However, due to the limitations of the classic neighborhood analysis algorithm, it is hard to realize the quantitative analysis on the macroscopic morphological features. To solve this problem, Chinese scholars had made a lot of explorations and innovations. An overall review was made in this paper on Chinese scholars' contribution to the DTA research on macro terrain morphology analysis, topographic feature analysis, tupu analysis, landform evolution, landform classification and mapping. The research review shows that Chinese scholars' researches are closely followed by international frontier. The digital terrain analysis in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Loess Plateau and the southwest karst area highlights the regional characteristics and advantages of geomorphology in China, and has had an important impact in the international academic session. |
