Wriggers, Peter; Bischoff, Manfred; Oñate, Eugenio; Düster, Alexander; Zohdi, Tarek (Ed.)This study evidences that the particle surface-area-to-volume ratio (A/V) and the particle volume (V) have the key information of particle geometry and the ‘signature’ is realized by a power-law relationship between A/V and V in a form of V = (A/V)^α × β. We find that the power value α is influenced by the shape-size relationship while the β* term (β evaluated with a fixed value of α = -3) informs the average particle shape of a granular material regarding the overall angularity. This study also discusses how the particle shape can be retrieved in terms of Wadell’s true sphericity using the A/V and V. This concept is linked to another shape index M that interprets the particle shape as a function of surface area A, volume V, and size L. This paper explains the analytical aspects of geometric ‘signature’ and examines the idea using the example particles to address the DEM modelling-related questions.more » « less

GRASS is an open-source geospatial processing engine. With over 400 tools available in the core distribution and an additional 400+ tools available as extensions, GRASS has broad applicability in the Earth Sciences and geomorphometry in particular. In this workshop, we will give an introduction to GRASS and demonstrate some of the geomorphometry tools available in GRASS. Specifically, we will show how to compute stream extraction uncertainty using a workflow adapted from Hengl (2007) [1] and Hengl (2010) [2]. We will begin by downloading publicly available LiDAR data of the Perugia area using GRASS data fetching tools. Then, we will use R’s kriging functions (gstat) to create 100 iterations of a DEM. After exploring some of the stream extraction and flow routing methods available in GRASS, we will extract streams from each of the 100 DEMs to compute stream uncertainty. The workshop will be conducted in a Jupyter Notebook hosted in Google Colab. By the end of the workshop, participants will have hands on experience with: Creating GRASS projects and importing datasets, Adjusting the computational extent and resolution, Creating DEMs from point data using a variety of methods implemented in GRASS and using a stochastic kriging approach in R, Using the R interface for GRASS and R packages with GRASS data, Computing Stream Uncertainty, Developing publication-quality figures with grass.jupytermore » « less
