GEOMORPHOMETRY.ORG is a non-commercial, nongovernmental association of researchers and experts that are open to free exchange of knowledge and opinions about various aspects of DEM processing. Everybody that is registered can participate in the geomorphometry.org activities and express his/her opinion. Commercial companies and organizations are also invited to upload important information, sample scripts, and shareware packages that can then be tested by our research group. Geomorphometry.org is financed through conference fees for the geomorphometry meetings. Participants of the geomorphometry meetings are automatically registered in the system as active users, which also means that they have access to internal web-pages and have an exclusive right to vote on important issues.

The specific objectives of the Geomorphometry society are:

To improve understanding of the properties of the land surface, as analyzed quantitatively from Digital Elevation Models and digital or paper maps; To advance the techniques used in land surface (terrain) analysis; To foster international collaboration in the quantitative analysis of the land surface; To run a website (geomorphometry.org) to facilitate communication between scientists and students, advertise relevant conferences and make available public-domain data sets and scientific papers.
