Terrain analysis of the Keller Peninsula (King George Island, Antarctica) by gis techniques

This study uses a Geographical Information System (GIS) for terrain analysis of the Keller Peninsula (KP), King George Island (KGI), Antarctica, to describe its morphological characteristics. We processed a vertical metric aerial photography and a DigitalTerrain Model(DTM)in a Digital Photogrammetri...

description This study uses a Geographical Information System (GIS) for terrain analysis of the Keller Peninsula (KP), King George Island (KGI), Antarctica, to describe its morphological characteristics. We processed a vertical metric aerial photography and a DigitalTerrain Model(DTM)in a Digital Photogrammetric Station to generate an orthophoto and then to create a KP orthophotomap. A more detailed DTM for the area surrounding the Brazilian Comandante Ferraz Station (EACF) was generated adding local points with known elevation. From these DTMs, we derived hypsometric, slope and aspect maps, hillshade models, perspective view scenes and topographic profiles, as well as measurements of distances, perimeters, areas and volumes for the KP and the EACF areas. At KP predominate steep terrain slopes (35.6%), followed by very steep (22.3%), moderate (20%) and abrupt areas (12.8%). Its hillsides are mainly westward (21.3%) and eastward (15.3%) oriented. Este estudo consiste na análise morfométrica da Península Keller (PK), ilha Rei George, Antártica, através de um Sistema de Informação Geográfica (SIG). Uma fotografia aérea métrica vertical e um Modelo Digital do Terreno (MDT) foram processados em uma estação fotogramétrica digital para gerar uma ortofoto, utilizada na elaboração de uma ortofotocarta para a PK. Os pontos cotados na área de entorno da Estação Comandante Ferraz (EACF) foram utilizados para a geração de um MDT local mais detalhado. A partir desses MDTs, geramos mapas hipsométricos, de declividade e aspecto, modelos de sombreamento analítico, vistas perspectivas e perfis topográficos, além de medidas de distâncias, perímetros, áreas e volumes da PK e EACF. Na PK predomina um terreno com declividade forte ondulada (35,6%), seguida pelas classes montanhosa (22,3%), ondulada (20%) e escarpada (12,8%). As vertentes da PK são principalmente orientadas para oeste (21,3%) e leste (15,3%).
