Abstract
Digital elevation models (DEMs) describe the landscape topography, which is both a product and a control of the activity of geomorphic processes. In the same way, the connectivity of landscape units with respect to water and sediment fluxes can be seen as both a driver and an emergent property of the spatiotemporal interaction of hydrological and geomorphic processes. As DEMs are available with increasing quality, resolution and spatial coverage, they form an important basis for the quantitative assessment of connectivity through indices.
