Geographic information science and mountain geomorphology

En savoir plus sur le livre

Significant advances in geomatics and geomorphology are transforming the study of complex mountain environments. This book critically evaluates these developments, highlighting the impact of advanced satellite sensors, high-resolution imagery, and digital elevation models on quantitative landscape analysis and modeling. As a result, integrating geomatics into scientific investigations is increasingly essential for geoscientists. This resource is indispensable for researchers in geomatics, geomorphology, and mountain systems, while also benefiting geologists and resource planners focused on surface processes in complex orogens, resource assessment, and sustainable development. Reviews commend the book for being edited by respected researchers in geomorphology and for covering a broad range of quantitative approaches to mountain system analysis. It offers valuable insights into specialized GIScience techniques relevant to mountain geomorphic research. The well-written and comprehensive content makes it a significant addition for advanced students and researchers in the field. Moreover, the text serves a wider audience of scientists interested in surface processes in mountainous regions and planners engaged in resource assessment and sustainable development.
