Scientific paper

We present a simple but physically-based method by which surface roughness (RMS slopes or heights) can be estimated from larger or smaller scales of known topography. The method is based upon the assumption that the surface topography can be reasonably characterized by self-affine or fractal statistics. We present an illustration of the method which estimates the hazards associated with placing a soft lander on Mars.
