Abstract Digital elevation models (DEMs) are essential tools in environmental science, particularly for hazard assessments and landscape analyses. However, their application across multiple environmental hazards simultaneously remains in need for a multi-aspect critical assessment to promote their effectiveness in comprehensive risk management. This paper aims to review and critically assess the application of DEMs in mapping and managing specific environmental hazards, namely floods, landslides, and coastal erosion. In this regard, it seeks to promote their utility of hazard maps as key tools in disaster risk reduction and environmental planning by employing high-resolution DEMs integrated with advanced More >
