STRUCTURE-MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS IN GIS FOR MOUNTAIN RELIEF MAPPING (BASED ON THE CARPATHIAN MODEL POLIGON)

Considered here are the basic principles of the classical technique of structural morphometry to determine its application in morphogenesis and tectogenesis studies of mountain regions. The possibility of the technique adaptation to GIS has been shown. Morphometric data processing and morphometric mapping with the use of GIS-analysis and spatial modeling of the Carpathian polygon have been carried out. A program module which allows to automatize structure-morphometric mapping is created.
