New Advancements in Geomorphological Research
There is an affirming transformation, basically in the form of core methodology, in recent geomorphological studies. This book on “New Advancement in Geomorphological Research: Issues and Challenges in Quantitative Spatial Science" asserts the contributing aspects of neo-modern developments related to applied geomorphology. This includes hydrological research, fluvial geomorphology, applied glacial geomorphology, changes in coastal geomorphology, regional to global level disaster and/or hazard monitoring with advanced models, landslide monitoring, geo-heritage site suitability, and bank and gully erosion detection. Contemporary developments in linking with the advanced developments in remote sensing and GIS, and with spatial science, in applied geomorphology and related sub-branches of earth science. Recently, global climate change phenomena (GCCP) impacted local to regional climatic events, resulting in sea-level rise, melting of glaciers, drastic river-course changes, the disappearance of the coastal area, and shrinkage of natural resources toss significant tests to sustaining human civilization. Meanwhile, modern monitoring technology and policy help-desk can support and minimize the present day's problems globally and also safeguard the natural environment's impending persistence in human society. So, this academic persuasion is a pioneer in minimizing the complications, like river course changes, glacier abolishment, geo-hazard crisis management, coastal area erosion management, geo-heritage conservation and management, and so on. Side by side, this present volume of the book caters a rational time-scale of the analyzed processes from mountain to coastal regions. And for better academic persuasion this will also incorporates the level of analysis, in the shape of `susceptibility' to `risk', with newly advanced methods. Therefore, appropriate cultivation of the knowledge of the application of GIScience for applied geomorphology and on the bigger aspect of the welfare of society and environment, and subjective nursing and administration can curtail the gap between science, policy, and the bottom-level scenario concerned. This current endeavor is also underlining the adaptation of hybrid techniques, remote sensing, statistical tools, and GIS technologies for the quantification of various issues related to several branches of applied geomorphology. This contributed piece includes focused and problem-oriented case studies to underline the versatility of changing geomorphological research, environmental resources, natural landscape, geo eco-system management, interconnected problems, and concerned applied vista at various spatiotemporal scales. The endorsed chapters, encircling both theoretical and applied aspects, help as guideline information for future research. Concisely, this book will offer traditional and advanced geospatial technologies used in earth science, atmospheric, lithospheric, hydrosphere, and biospheric contexts connected to applied geomorphology and for better management. This current book will be a commendable product from the belvedere of researchers, scientists, academic personnel, policymakers, advanced learners in advanced geoscience, earth science, applied geomorphology, remote sensing, environmental resources management, GIS, and hydrology.
Geomorphological Mapping
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
Current Practice in Fluvial Geomorphology

Amid increasing interactions with other disciplines and technical advances for detecting, monitoring, and modeling fluvial landscape origin, dynamics, and diversity, a number of scientific works have come out and nested in globally recognized edited books. This book is an attempt in this regard, where a few precise regular research works from diverse disciplinary expertise from around the globe are compiled as chapters. In this collective effort, the application of geoinformatics, field data on natural rivers, instrumentation, use of analytic tools, scientific techniques, numerical models, case studies, illustrations, etc. in understanding formative processes and appraising fluvial landscapes will hopefully provide insight into the current practice of fluvial geomorphology and may guide fruitful and coherent scientific enquiry into the field.
