The ValleyMorph Tool: An automated extraction tool for transverse topographic symmetry (T-) factor and valley width to valley height (Vf-) ratio

In tectonically active regions on Earth, shallow-crustal deformation associated with seismic hazards may pose a threat to human life and property. The study of landform development, such as analysis of the valley width to valley height ratio (Vf-ratio) and the Transverse Topographic Symmetry Factor (T-factor), delineating drainage basin symmetry, can be used as a relative measure of tectonic activity along fault-bound mountain fronts. The fast …
