Mapping Geomorphological Environments is a highly descriptive
textbook providing an excellent introduction to the latest
methodologies for mapping geomorphological formations in a variety
of different environments.
Its holistic approach 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 in a 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 such as 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.
