A Geomorfometria é uma ciência interdisciplinar atribuída de importantes bases conceituais e metodológicas para estudos voltados a quantificação da superfície terrestre, podendo oferecer um conjunto de recursos para mapeamento e predição do meio físico, diagnóstico/prognóstico ambiental e modelagem das formas e processos que possuem relação direta com a variabilidade topográfica de determinada paisagem. Buscando analisar bases teóricas, metodológicas e epistemológicas desta área do conhecimento, bem como indicar exemplos de aplicações em Geografia Física, o presente trabalho vislumbra caracterizar-se como uma contribuição inicial para pesquisas que necessitam entender as formas, processos e dinâmica do meio físico no contexto de abordagens quantitativas; analisando suas potencialidades e limitações.

The Geomorphometry is an interdisciplinary science assigned to of important concepts and methodologies for studies aimed at quantifying the earth’s surface offering an array of resources for mapping and prediction of the physical medium, diagnosis/prognosis assessment and modeling of forms and processes we have a direct relationship with the topographic variability of a given landscape. Seeking to analyze theoretical, methodological and epistemological this science, as well as indicate examples of applications in Physical Geography, the present study envisions characterized as an initial contribution for searches that need to understand the forms, processes and dynamics of the physical medium in the context of quantitative approaches; by analyzing its potential and limitations.
Keywords: epistemology of geomorphometry, landscape quantification, digital elevation model, environmental modeling.
