calculate_advanced_terrain_metrics: Calculate advanced terrain metrics

Description

Calculate advanced terrain metrics from DEM including curvature, wetness index, and stream power index.

Usage

calculate_advanced_terrain_metrics(
  elevation_raster,
  metrics = c("wetness_index", "curvature", "convergence"),
  region_boundary = NULL
)

Value

List of terrain metric rasters

Arguments

elevation_raster

Digital elevation model

metrics

Vector of metrics to calculate

region_boundary

Optional region boundary

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# These examples require external data files not included with the package
# Calculate advanced terrain metrics
terrain_metrics <- calculate_advanced_terrain_metrics(
  elevation_raster = "dem.tif",
  metrics = c("wetness_index", "curvature", "convergence"),
  region_boundary = "watershed.shp"
)
}
