Summary

Three statewide datasets were compiled to provide information on the geomorphology for North Carolina. Geomorphology is commonly a missing element in many Earth-surface process models, thus it is essential to extract this missing information from available DEMs and use it to inform models and better understand the area of interest. For these threee datasets, information was extracted and post processed from lidar derived digital elevation models (DEMs) at 10 ft. and 30ft. resolution. Datasets are currently used for the project SPARROW Modeling for North Carolina Watersheds, but have the potential to be used in numerous applications. Slope area index (SAI), the ten most common geomorphons (i.e. geomorphologic feature), and topographic [...]

Purpose

Datasets were created to provide information on landscape geomorphology in North Carolina for the project SPARROW Modeling for North Carolina Watersheds. Geospatial datasets include rasters for common landscape forms derived from GRASS Geomorphons, topographic openness derived from the Relief Visualization Toolbox, and slope area index.
