NDEI-BASED MAPPING OF LAND SURFACE CHANGES
Topography measurements of land surface elevation changes are essential for geomorphological studies and research on natural hazards. However, conventional topography and remote sensing methods pose several challenges. Fieldwork in remote areas could be insecure or be hard to conduct due to physical...

Topography measurements of land surface elevation changes are essential for geomorphological studies and research on natural hazards.
