Geomatics In Applied Geomorphology by SM. Ramasamy,J. Saravanavel,S. Gunasekaran Pdf

The authors, as geologists, were endowed with the fortune of working in Geomatics technology comprising Remote Sensing, GIS, GPS, etc. with a focused vision to bring out the Quaternary geological history of different parts of Indian Peninsular, the senior author during the last four decades and the co-authors during the last one and half decades. As geomorphology, one of the major branch of geology, not only dealing with external landscape architecture of the planet earth but also bears the records on the Quaternary tectonics, riverine, coastal, aeolian, glacial, volcanic and other geomorphic processes of the Quaternary period, the authors were stimulated to carry out studies on the riverine life histories, shoreline changes and offshore land building phenomena, the recent earth movements from the geomorphic anomalies, Holocene tectonics and their control over Quaternary deltas, etc. Besides unfurling the geological history of the Quaternary period, geomorphology has been deeply studied by the authors with the focus on mapping and mitigation of natural disasters like seismotectonics, landslides, response of coastal geomorphology to tsunami surges, floods, etc.

Geographic Information Science and Mountain Geomorphology by Michael Bishop,John F. Shroder Pdf

From the reviews: "Bishop and Schroder (both, Univ. of Nebraska at Omaha) have brought together an impressive group of practitioners in the relatively new application of geographic information science to mountain geomorphology. In doing so, they have produced valuable, first, overall coverage of a high-tech approach to mountain, three-dimensional research. More than 40 contributing authors discuss a wide range of related aspects.... The book is well bound and well produced; each chapter provides an extensive source of references. The numerous line drawings are clearly reproduced, although the mediocre quality of photographic reproduction limits the value of air photographs and satellite images. As is characteristic of many edited collections, there is some variation in chapter quality. Some of the writing is so dense that it requires minute concentration--one chapter, for instance, has 14 pages of references from a total of 43 pages. Nevertheless, this is a vital compendium for a rapidly expanding field of research. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." (J. D. Ives, Choice, March 2005)

Anthropogenic Geomorphology by József Szabó,Lóránt Dávid,Denes Loczy Pdf

Anthropogenic geomorphology studies society’s impact on the geographical environment, and especially on the Earth’s surface. This volume provides guidance to students discussing the basic topics of anthropogenic geomorphology. The chapters cover both its system, and its connections with other sciences, as well as the way the subject can contribute to tackling today’s practical problems. The book represents all fields of geomorphology, giving an introduction to the diversity of the discipline through examples taken from a range of contexts and periods, and focusing on examples from Europe. It is no accident that anthropogenic geomorphology has been gaining ground within geomorphology itself. Its results advance not only the theoretical development of the science but can be applied directly to social and economic issues. Worldwide, anthropogenic geomorphology is an integral and expanding part of earth sciences curricula in higher education, making this a timely and relevant text.
