Introduction
TauDEM (Terrain Analysis Using Digital Elevation Models) is a set of tools for the analysis of terrain using digital elevation models. It incorporates programs and digital elevation model (DEM) analysis functions developed over several years of research with support from a variety of sponsors, whose support is gratefully acknowledged. While an extendable component (toolbar plugin) is available for MapWindow in TauDEM 3.1 at http://www.engineering.usu.edu/dtarb/taudem/, TauDEM 4.0 contains both a toolbar plugin and a geoprocessing toolbox for ESRI ArcGIS 9.3.
