As the data source in digital topographic analysis, digital elevation model (DEM) data plays an important role in many fields, and hydrologic application is an important one among them. The successive release of open global DEM datasets provides multi choices for these applications, but also brings puzzles in DEM data selection. Taking Fenhe River Basin of China as the study area, this research compared the hydrologic networks extracted by typical global DEM data using matching difference (MD), correctness (C) and figure of merit (FM) indexes. Firstly, four DEM-derived hydrologic networks (DHNs) were acquired through topographic analysis using four typical global DEM datasets, including Shuttle Radar Terrain Mission (SRTM) data with 1 arc second resolution (SRTM1), SRTM data with 3 arc second resolution (SRTM3), ASTER global DEM data in the second version (GDEM-v2) and ALOS world 3D-30m (AW3D30) data. Then, the reference hydrologic network (RHN) was interpreted based on remote sensing images. Finally, the DHNs were evaluated and compared by referencing the RHN using different indexes. Research results show: (1) four DHNs have similar distribution in mountain regions but much different performance in flat regions; (2) all the indexes (including MD, C and FM) indicate that about the quality of the DHNs, the best is the AW3D30 data, then the SRTM1 data, the next is the SRTM3 data, and the GDEM-v2 data has the worst quality; (3) through analyzing the MD distribution in different slope classes for the four global DEM datasets, the MD mainly distributes in flat region, and then sloping region, but seldom in steep region. Overall, AW3D30 has the best quality, a little better than SRTM1 and much better than SRTM3 and GDEM-v2; SRTM3 and GDEM-v2 data have much worse quality, and GDEM-v2 data is the worst in the four global DEM datasets. Considering that the AW3D30 data is originated from the DEM dataset with 5m resolution, it may exerts more effect in future digital topographic analysis.

The availability, accessibility and quality of data are significant obstacles to hydrological modelling. Estimating the initial values of the hydrological model´’ ’s parameters is a laborious and determining task requiring much attention. Geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial remote sensing are prometting tools for processing and collecting data. In this work, we use an innovative approach to estimate the HEC-HMS hydrological model parameters from the soil map of Africa (250m), the land use map GLC30, the depth to bedrock map, the digital elevation model and observed flow data. The estimation approach is applied to the Ouergha basin (Sebou, Morocco). The proposed approach’s interest is to feed the HEC-HMS hydrological model with initial values of parameters close to the study area reality instead of using random parameters.

Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is an important data source for topographic analysis, 3D visualization and satellite image ortho-rectification. This paper focused on the DEM extraction and accuracy assessment from ZY-3 satellite with 3 stereo images. DEM was extracted using three different stereo pair image groups composed of forward and nadir view images, nadir and backward view images as well as forward and backward view images. The accuracy of the DEM was indicated by root-mean-square error (RMSE) values. The results showed that the stereo pair of nadir and forward view images achieved the best accuracy, while the pair of forward and backward view images obtained the worst. This might be useful for the selection of the stereo pair images for extracting DEM using ZY-3 satellite images.

DEMNAS : NATIONAL DIGITAL ELEVATION MODEL FOR COASTAL APPLICATION. DEM is a digital data which contain information about elevation. In Indonesia, DEM can be generated from elevation points or contours in RBI (Rupabumi Indonesia). DEM can be performed to research of coastal application i.e. inundation or tsunami. DEM can help to analyze vulnerability or evacuation zone for coastal hazards. DEMNAS is one product of BIG (Geospatial Information Agency) which consist of elevation data from remote sensing images. DEMNAS data has not been widely used and is still being developed but DEMNAS has an advantage of spatial resolution. DEMNAS has spatial resolution 0.27 arc-second, which is bigger than the spatial resolution of global DEM.

Through the researches and discussions of each constituents of multi-resolution watershed model, the article comes to the conclusion that could apply the LOD(Level of Detail, LOD) technique , the blanking technique and so on to the deletions and replaces of DEM(Digital Elevation Model, DEM) data nodes and the unimportant watershed region in the multi-resolution watershed model, the remote sensing images, the multi-resolution building model, the multi-resolution flood routing model. The method could reduce the data quantity of valley model. The experiment has proved that the multi-resolution watershed model with the applications of this method could not only express three dimensional virtual large scene of the watershed better, but also make the visualization of the mass data model in real-time interactive manner in condition of the computer capability nowadays. This achievement has provided the new thought for the compression of remote sensing images and data transmission of WebGIS in real-time interactive manner.

AbstractGlacier area changes in the Pumqu river basin, Tibetan Plateau, between the 1970s and 2001 are analyzed, based on the Chinese Glacier Inventory and ASTER images. A new glacier inventory is obtained by visually interpreting the remote-sensing images and the digital elevation model. By comparing the two inventories, glacier area changes over the past 30 years are revealed. The results show that the area loss is about 9.0% and the shrinkage trend continues according to the meteorological data.

Abstract In the hydrogeological map sheet of the Special Region of Yogyakarta, the Mountain Zone is categorized as an area of scarce groundwater. This research is intended to determine the parameters of groundwater potential in the area of scarce groundwater according to the Groundwater Potentiality Index (GPI) methods, including; fractures, lithology, slope, topography, and rainfall. Fracture parameters, distribution, and topography were collected from the Indonesia Geospatial Portal and the Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The lithological parameters were obtained from data from the Geological Agency due to the Interpretation of Remote Sensing Images. Rainfall data for the last ten years was obtained from reports. Results show that most of the research area is a fairly massive rock area, and there are some local faults. The lithological parameters indicate that the research area is composed of breccias, sandstones, and tuffs. Distribution parameters obtained information that most distribution is notated river orders 1, 2, and 3 with several river orders notation 4, 5, and 6. The slope varies from <3% to> 65%, and the intensity of rainfall almost evenly ranges from 1600-2100 mm/year.

In alpine Himalaya, the niche map of lichens and its characteristics is a gap area. A novel approach of improving the bioclimatic envelop through use of remote sensing inputs was employed. The 19 bioclimatic indices and digital elevation model were used for training niche models through occurrence records of 33 lichen species across Indian Himalaya. Substratum correction was carried out using LU/LC data. About 45% of the total geographic area studied is found to be very conducive (with niche probability > 70%) for the growth of lichens with predictive accuracy of 91% ascertained through cross-validation. Jammu and Kashmir is having highest niche area (36.02%); however, average probability niche score is highest in Uttarakhand (81.08). Area between 27o - 28o N latitude is having highest area however average probability score is highest in 30o - 31o N. Overall maximum niche area (35.50 %) is found in the regions dominated by alpine meadow, alpine grasslands and parts of cold deserts. The potential use lies in reporting yet to be explored lichens in the Indian Himalaya.
