Description

Archive containing digital maps of 'landform types' and 'landscape units' for French Guiana and the State of Amapa (Brazil). These maps accompany the paper 'Using textural analysis for regional landform and landscape mapping, Eastern Guiana Shield', Geomorphology (doi:10.1016/j.geomorph.2 018.03.017) and have been produced according to the methods presented therein.


 

Notes

For methodological details, please refer to Bugnicourt et al., 2018, Geomorphology, doi:10.1016/j.geomorph.2018.03.017. The present archive contains the two maps ('landform types' and 'landscape units') resulting from this study (shape files and geotiff file for each map). EPSG: 32622, WGS 84, UTM 22 N. Spatial resolution cells: 926 m. These maps can be used freely provided the above reference paper is cited in any resulting publication. These maps have been produced as part of the BIOMAP project funded by the Guyamazon III program (http://www.guyamazon.or/guyamazon-iii-2015-2018/biomap) with FAPEAP as funder for Brazil and IRD, CIRAD, CNRS, Région Guyane for France
