Quantitative geomorphology of drainage basins and channel networks.
Quantitative Geomorphology: Geo-Environmental phenomenon that is responsible for the sculpturing of land surface produce surface geometry from which numerical data can be obtained.

Quantitative geomorphology of some watersheds in the Appalachian plateau.
The results show the feasibility of continental-scale quantitative geomorphology based on SRTM data and provide insights into the distribution of closed basins.

Coupling of
quantitative geomorphology and hydrology which is at the core of this approach is not a new concept, however, with the advent of new RS systems that operate at high resolutions and new processing capabilities in GIS the use of GIUH has become very attractive for water practitioners and hydrologic modelers.
