Topography, the science dedicated to the study of the characteristics and forms of the Earth’s surface, plays a fundamental role in fields such as civil engineering, architecture, geology, surveying, and many others.
The graphic representation of the relief through maps, plans, and three-dimensional models allows us to understand and analyze the environment in which we operate.
