Mapping geomorphological environments

The holistic approach in Mapping Geomorphological Environments seeks to provide a meaningful linkage between state of the art techniques for geomorphological mapping, including the latest innovations in geospatial applications, and advances in the understanding of the formation of geomorphological phenomena ina variety of settings and environments. The book includes: - An introduction to the processes which form geomorphological formations and how to map them. -Case studies from a variety of environments with many examples of geomorphological maps. - In-depth descriptions of the latest tools and methodologies suchas field sampling, GPS usage, 3–4D mapping, GIS analysis, digital image analysis, etc. - A list of the geomorphological characteristics per environment (e.g. coastal, fluvial, etc.) in the format of a geomorphological encyclopaedia, with pictures, maps and symbols. It covers the entire workflow ranging from data collection, analysis, interpretation, and mapping. Incorporates case studies from a variety of environments with many actual examples of geomorphologicalmaps Describes in-depth the latest tools and methodologies such as field sampling, GPS usage, 3–4D mapping, GIS analysis, digital image analysis, etc. Enumerates geomorphological characteristics per environment (e.g. coastal, fluvial, etc.) INDICE: Introduction.
