Top Ranked Cut Polygon Based on Combined Ranks
Detailed Description
Top ranked cut polygon based on the combined ranks for area, volume, and change in elevation, relief, slope, and aspect (outlined in yellow). This feature is located at the Mission copper mine near San Xavier, Arizona. From left to right, the images are NED shaded relief, SRTM shaded relief with change polygons overlaid (blue = cut; red = fill), and Landsat image. The dates for the NED and SRTM source data are shown. This area is about 5.5 km east-west by 9.7 km north-south.

Ranking Features Based on Magnitude of Change
Each of the polygons in the topographic change inventory has numerous attributes associated with it. These attributes allow a ranking of features based on the magnitude of change, as measured by polygon descriptors (area and volume) and changes in terrain parameters (elevation, relief, slope, aspect). The ability to do such a ranking points out one of the advantages of producing spatially explicit...
