With recent innovations in the arena of remote sensing and
geographic information systems, the use of geoinformatics in
applied geomorphology is receiving more attention than ever.
Geoinformatics in Applied Geomorphology examines how modern
concepts, technologies, and methods in geoinformatics can be used
to solve a wide variety of applied geomorphologic problems, such as
characterization of arid, coastal, fluvial, aeolian, glacial,
karst, and tectonic landforms; natural hazard zoning and
mitigations; petroleum exploration; and groundwater exploration and
management. Using case studies to illustrate concepts and methods,
this book covers: Arid environments, such as the Thar desert, West
Texas, the Qatar Peninsula, and the Dead Sea areas Coastal
shoreline changes in Kuwait Coastal zone management in India
Estuarine bathymetric study of Tampa Bay, Florida Fluvial landforms
of the Elbe river basin, Germany Subsurface coastal geomorphology
and coastal morphological changes due to tsunamis in the East coast
of India The Himalayas, Jammu & Kashmir, Western Ghats, and
Precambrian terrain of South India The result of extensive research
by an interdisciplinary team of contributors, Geoinformatics in
Applied Geomorphology is designed for students, researchers, and
professionals in the areas of geomorphology, geological
engineering, geography, remote sensing, and geographic information
systems.
