[Spatial-Ecology] Geomorpho90m: Global High-Resolution Geomorphometric Layers

[Giuseppe Amatulli]

Dear Colleagues,
I'm happy to announce that our data paper:
"Geomorpho90m: Global High-Resolution Geomorphometric Layers" is finally
out!!!

Mountains, valleys, canyons, plateaus, and ridges are vertical variations
of the Earth’s terrain and are driving processes in geomorphology,
biogeography, climatology, hydrology and ecology. Their characterisation
and assessment, through mathematical morphology algorithms, are crucial to
numerous environmental modelling and simulation analyses. Running
geocomputation algorithms in the Yale Grace-HPC, our team assembled the
Geomorpho90m global geo-dataset, which characterizes 26 standardized
geomorphometric variables such as slope, aspect, curvatures, ruggedness and
geomorphological forms.
