index that quantifies topographic heterogeneity, Intermountain Journal of
Sciences, vol. 5, No. 1-4,1999, but might someone be able to tell me how the "Ruggedness Index" calculation is performed in QGIS? In particular, the "Z factor" seems to have no effect on the result. I have a passing familiarity with Python, so could probably figure out how the code works, if that would help the explanation.</font></span></div><div><span style="margin:0px;line-height:107%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;font-size:11pt"><font color="#b00000"><br></font></span></div><div><span style="margin:0px;line-height:107%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;font-size:11pt"><font color="#007600">Thanks!</font></span></div><div><br clear="all"><br>-- <br></div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Mark Polczynski</div></div></div>
