Abstract
In 2008 the Geomorphometry book was published after several years of work on it. 10 years have passed since the book has been published, many more years since the early work of the grandfathers of this domain. One of the key definition in the book was the following: Geomorphometry is the science of digital terrain modelling, analysis and quantitative land surface analysis.The author argues that this definition still holds true. The paper discusses past developments and future questions and argues that we need to move to a predicted space-time geomorphomerty parameters based approach.
