Описание: Thisbook deals with the relationship between geomorphology and society. This topic hashad rather scant treatment in the literature except to some extent under thelabel “applied geomorphology”. In this text the authors aim to bring togetherconceptual issues and case studies of how geomorphology influences society and,indeed, how society is in turn influenced by geomorphology. In an age in whichthe influence of human activities on global environments has become soparamount that it is increasingly common to refer to it geologically as the “anthropocene”,the book aims to reflect on the geomorphological significance of widespread anddiverse forms of human impact in a range of environmental settings.

Описание:
Geomorphology and Volcanology of Costa Rica is the product of more than 30 years of research explaining the evolution of the quaternary relief of a geomorphologically diverse country. The book details the physical landscape of Costa Rica, with an emphasis on potential threats to the landscape, such as earthquakes, landslides, floods, and sea level rise.
The book answers questions on the climate changes associated with the intense volcanism that affects this country. Geomorphologists, geologists, geographers, and students who specialize in the Earth Sciences will benefit from knowing the geomorphology of Costa Rica, not only as a case study, but also for the lessons it offers on climate change and worldwide geological history.

Описание:
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.
