Por possibilitar o cálculo rápido e preciso de variáveis associadas ao relevo, nas últimas décadas, o aprimoramento do Modelo Digital de Elevação (MDE) tem contribuído bastante para a pesquisa geomorfológica, particularmente em áreas de bacias sedimentares. No setor noroeste da Bacia Potiguar, no município de Mossoró, estado do Rio Grande do Norte, existe uma elevação que se destaca em meio ao relevo plano, conhecida como Serra Mossoró. Apesar da importância da região no que se refere à exploração de água subterrânea, prospecção de petróleo e fruticultura tropical, os trabalhos já produzidos sobre esta forma de relevo são escassos e superficiais. Este trabalho tem como objetivo realizar a extração de atributos morfométricos da Serra Mossoró e de suas adjacências a partir de Modelo de Elevação Digital (MDE), de modo a precisar a classificação deste relevo e correlaciona-lo com a neotectônica regional. Pesquisa bibliográfica, tratamento de imagens orbitais georreferenciadas com software de mapeamento e observações de campo possibilitaram a elaboração dos mapas hipsométrico, de relevo sombreado (hillshade) e clinométrico. A análise dos dados hipsométricos evidencia que a Serra Mossoró está estruturada em patamares e rampas, apresentando altimetria máxima de 268 metros. O mapa de relevo sombreado confirma a ocorrência de lineamentos  nos sentidos NE-SW e NW-SE, bem como, em menor proporção, no E-O, já descritos em outros trabalhos. Juntos, os mapas hipsométrico e de relevo sombreado definem a estrutura da Serra Mossoró como um inselberg de natureza sedimentar, resultante da erosão diferencial nas rochas da Bacia Potiguar.  Extraction of Morphometric Attributes from Serra Mossoró (Mossoró-RN) From the Digital Elevation Model (MDE) A B S T R A C TFor enabliling a rapid and accurate calculation of the variables associated to relief, in the last decades the enhancement of the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) has contributed greatly to geomorphological research, particularly in sedimentary basin areas. In the northwestern section of the Potiguar Basin, in the municipality of Mossoró, state of Rio Grande do Norte, there is an elevation that stands out in the middle of the flat relief known as Serra Mossoró. Despite the importance of the region in the exploration of groundwater, oil prospecting and tropical fruiticulture, the works already produced on this landform are scarce and superficial. From the analysis of morphometric attributes, this work aims to produce the DEM of Serra Mossoró and its surroundings, in order to clarify the classification of this relief and correlate it with the regional neotectonics. Bibliographical research, treatment of georeferenced orbital images with mapping software and field observations enabled the elaboration of the hypsometric, hillshade and clinometrical. The analysis of hypsometric data shows that Serra Mossoró is structured in steps and ramps, with a maximum altimetry of 268 meters. The hillshade map confirm the occurrence of lineaments in the NE-SW and NW-SE directions, as well as, to a lesser extent, in the E-O direction, already described in other works. Together, the hypsometric and hillshade maps define the Serra Mossoró structure as a sedimentary inselberg resulting from differential erosion in the rocks of the Potiguar Basin. Key words: Serra Mossoró, geologic-geomorphologic mapping, morphometric attributes, Digital Elevation Model

The topography of the Tampahan area which tends to be steep and dominated by tuff lithology can result in a landslide. The intensity of landslides and the resulting losses can be reduced by the analysis of landslide-prone areas in Tampahan. The administration of the area is located in Toba Samosir Regency, North Sumatra Province which is included in the Toba Caldera Region. Analysis of landslide-prone areas is carried out with five parameters namely slope, land use, morphological elevation, lithology, and rainfall. The data processed in this analysis comes from field data, DEMNas (National Digital Elevation Model), and other spatial data. Classification of each parameter and weighting based on literature is away in the analysis of landslide-prone areas of Tampahan. Then do each parameter overlay to get the value of landslide-prone and distinguished based on the calculation of the landslide class interval. The results are divided into five classes that are prone to landslides, namely classes not prone (1-1,8), rather prone (1,8-2,6), quite prone (2,6-3,4), prone (3,4-4,2), and very prone (4,2-5). Based on the analysis that has been done, some areas are very prone to landslides in the southeast while areas that are not prone to landslides are in the southwest of the study area. Therefore, landslide-prone studies are categorized as high landslides with almost 60% coverage of the study area.

The article deals with the geomorphologic method of classification of the elevation, applying a special overlay of the first and second rate derivative of the elevation. So far in the tests there have been taken into account one or two characteristics for classification. The technique presented suggests the method of joining together some surface characteristics and by summarising as well as associating them together to make one rugged surface of the elevation to be able to reflect the most precisely and comprehensively the elevation changes in the spherical image and it should serve best for selecting the elevation model and parameters of modelling. The errors of the elevation models obtained by means of different modelling techniques have been evaluated. The results revealed that the elevation models errors depend on geomorphologic characteristics. These errors have been calculated by means of different methods. The efficiency of the method has been evaluated calculating the elevation model for each. The possibilities to reduce the standard deviations of the elevation model have been evaluated by selecting the parameters of the elevation modelling.

To use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for obtaining digital elevation models (DEM) and digital terrain models (DTM) is currently actively practiced in scientific and practical purposes. This technology has many advantages: efficiency, ease of use, and the possibility of application on relatively small area. This allows us to perform qualitative and quantitative studies of the progress of dangerous relief-forming processes and to assess their consequences quickly. In this paper, we describe the process of obtaining a digital elevation model (DEM) of the relief of the slope located on the bank of the Protva River (Satino training site of the Faculty of Geography, Lomonosov Moscow State University). To obtain the digital elevation model, we created a temporary geodetic network. The coordinates of the points were measured by the satellite positioning method using a highprecision mobile complex. The aerial survey was carried out using an unmanned aerial vehicle from a low altitude (about 40–45 m). The processing of survey materials was performed via automatic photogrammetry (Structure-from-Motion method), and the digital elevation model of the landslide surface on the Protva River valley section was created. Remote sensing was supplemented by studying archival materials of aerial photography, as well as field survey conducted immediately after the landslide. The total amount of research results made it possible to establish the causes and character of the landslide process on the study site. According to the geomorphological conditions of formation, the landslide refers to a variety of landslideslides, which are formed when water is saturated with loose deposits. The landslide body was formed with the "collapse" of the blocks of turf and deluvial loams and their "destruction" as they shifted and accumulated at the foot of the slope.
