In my 2017 article in Geomorphology,
I describe more of the theoretical basis for linking the multivariate data structure of state space to its resilience properties. It could be
considered a followup to my 2005 paper in Geomorphology. I wasn't in a
rush, but back then the availability of lidar data and the
software tools to manipulate these data weren't quite as on hand as they are
today. I had thought about making topographic state space back in
2005, and added a preliminary figure in my Ecological Complexity paper.
