The aim of this study was to develop a geographic information systems (GIS) toolbox for the automatic extraction of 26 morphometric characteristics, which include the geometry, hypsometry, and volume of concave landforms. The Morphometry Assessment Tools (MAT) toolbox in the ArcGIS software was developed. The required input data are a digital elevation model and the form boundary as a vector layer. The method was successfully tested on an example of 21 erosion-denudation valleys located in the young glacial area of northwest Poland. Calculations were based on elevation data collected in the field and LiDAR data. The results obtained with the tool showed differences in the assessment of the volume parameter at the average level of 12%, when comparing the field data and LiDAR data. The algorithm can also be applied to other types of concave forms, as well as being based on other DEM data sources, which makes it a universal tool for morphometric evaluation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13142810","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,18]],"date-time":"2021-07-18T21:18:52Z","timestamp":1626643132000},"page":"2810","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["MAT: GIS-Based Morphometry Assessment Tools for Concave Landforms"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0983-0022","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joanna","family":"Gudowicz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Geoecology and Geoinformation, Adam Mickiewicz University in Pozna\u0144, Krygowskiego 10, 61-680 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0994-4863","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Renata","family":"Paluszkiewicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Geoecology and Geoinformation, Adam Mickiewicz University in Pozna\u0144, Krygowskiego 10, 61-680 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Dury, G.H.
