Geomorphology (from Greek: γ-, ge, "earth"; μορφή, morf, "form"; and "όγος, logos, "knowledge") is the study of landforms, including their origin and evolution, and the processes that shape them.
geomorphology
[geography] The study of the nature and origin of landforms, including relationships to underlying structures and processes of formation.

Geomorphology is the study of present-day landforms, including their classification, description, nature, origin, development, and relationships to underlying structures, ...
morphology The form and structure of a surface. In tins, the morphology of a surface is defined by the sample points and breakline features used to build the tin.
Geomorphology:
The study of the arrangement and form of the Earth's crust and of the relationship between these physical features and the geologic structures beneath.

Geomorphology is the scientific field that investigates how landforms are formed on the Earth (and other planets).

Various quantitative methods have been developed for characterizing the morphology of land surfaces (Evans 1972, Mark 1975, Dole and Jordan 1978, Papo and Gelman 1984, Elghazali and Hassan 1986, Zevenbergen and Thorne 1987, McNab 1989, 1993, ...
This code implements the thinning algorithm described in "Analysis of Thinning Algorithms Using Mathematical Morphology" by Ben-Kwei Jang and Ronlad T. Chin in Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, vol. 12, No. 6, June 1990.
Contours are derived data, data interpolated from information of altitude at known points, and in themselves offer no information about the surface morphology between them.
The quality of a DEM is a measure of how accurate elevation is at each pixel (absolute accuracy) and how accurately is the morphology presented (relative accuracy). Several factors play an important role for quality of DEM-derived products: ...
Instead, they viewed the science of GIS as a subdiscipline of geography or computer science (the way that biogeography or geomorphology are sciences within the larger field of geography, ...
These data can be used to derive information about the morphology of the landscape such as slope and aspect, which are important to solar insolation and microclimate.
