An evaluation of available digital elevation models (DEMs) for geomorphological feature analysis

A digital elevation model (DEM) is an essential dataset for many land feature analyses, such as geomorphological feature analyses, which are very important for many types of studies. The present study involved the evaluation of five of the most common DEMs and their derived geomorphological features in the Humrat Assahn basin.
