9780444534460: Geomorphological Mapping: Methods and Applications (Volume 15) (Developments in Earth Surface Processes, Volume 15)

Synopsis

Geomorphological Mapping: a professional handbook of techniques and applications is a new book targeted at academics and practitioners who use, or wish to utilise, geomorphological mapping within their work. Synthesising for the first time an historical perspective to geomorphological mapping, field based and digital tools and techniques for mapping and an extensive array of case studies from academics and professionals active in the area. Those active in geomorphology, engineering geology, reinsurance, Environmental Impact Assessors, and allied areas, will find the text of immense value.

  • Growth of interest in geomorphological mapping and currently no texts comprehensively cover this topic
  • Extensive case studies that will appeal to professionals, academics and students (with extensive use of diagrams, potentially colour plates)
  • Brings together material on digital mapping (GIS and remote sensing), cartography and data sources with a focus on modern technologies (including GIS, remote sensing and digital terrain analysis)
  • Provides readers with summaries of current advances in methodological/technical aspects
  • Accompanied by electronic resources for digital mapping

About the Author

Paolo is a Senior Lecturer at IHE Delft in the River Basin Development research group. He has more than 15 years of combined professional experience in the Humanitarian, Professional and Academic world in the areas of mapping, geology and geomorphology and remote sensing. In the last years he has been developing methods and tools for the use of UAV in hydraulic research including flood mapping as well as in ecology and soil erosion. He has worked and lived extensively in Eastern and Southern Africa with shorter assignments in Asia and East Asia, and at present he is based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

From the Back Cover

This handbook covers all aspects of geomorphological mapping. It provides a practical set of tools and examples for use by academics and practitioners. The volume is purposefully interdisciplinary and seeks to provide linkages between different subject areas that use geomorphological mapping in analysing and solving practical problems. The volume should be of interest to civil engineers, geotechnical engineers, geologists, geomorphologists, archaeologists, soil scientists, land managers, planners, environmental scientists and landscape ecologists.

Organised around three primary sections, the first section details the history of geomorphological mapping, focusing upon the development of methods and their evolution within different national "schools". Further chapters outline the aims and objectives of geomorphological mapping, going on to evaluate the makers and users. The section concludes with a review of quantitative risk assessment through the incorporation of geomorphological mapping. Section 2 reviews the techniques for geomorphological mapping, introducing traditional field techniques and then moving on to the use of digital data for digital mapping and managing error. Cartographic symbolization and automated techniques conclude this section. Section 3 presents case studies for different industrial/applications of geomorphological maps and from a variety of morphoclimatic settings demonstrating the wide range and application of geomorphological maps in both academic and professional arenas. The book concludes with a section looking at future developments.
