USGS is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to study terrain processes and geomorphic development to model terrain features in support of extraction from lidar data for representation as a part of The National Map. Research Advisor: E. Lynn Usery, 573-308-3837. usery@usgs.gov.

Further Information & Instructions:

The Intermediate DEM (IDEM) is a product derived exclusively from acquisitions of the first global coverage. The first global coverage typically uses only one baseline configuration for acquiring each scene. Please be aware that the intermediate DEM product might have data gaps, omitting scenes where a reasonable accuracy cannot be achieved by a single interferometric acquisition. An increased height error compared to the final and global TanDEM-X DEM product is expected.

We invite submissions to a special issue of Earth Surface Dynamics (ESurf) on Geomorphometry to coincide with the conference Geomorphometry 2013, held in Nanjing, China in October 2013.

Digital Soil Mapping Across Paradigms, Scales and Boundaries

The conference is planned for 11th - 14th, November, 2014, which will include technical sessions and one day mid-conference tour. The proceedings of the workshop, including keynote talks, other talks, and results of the discussion sessions will be published as a book.
