The scale-free and scale-bound properties of land surfaces : fractal analysis and specific geomorphometry from digital terrain models
The scale-bound view of landsurfaces, being an assemblage of certain landforms, occurring within limited scale ranges, has been challenged by the scale-free characteristics of fractal geometry. This thesis assesses the fractal model by examining the irregularity of landsurface form, for the self-aff...
