Atlas of Structural Geological and Geomorphological Interpretation of Remote Sensing Images

This atlas contains high-quality colour images that depict a diversity of structures and geomorphic features from different tectonic regimes and geographic localities in the Americas, Europe, and Australasia. While its primary emphasis is on structural geology, geomorphology is considered in some depth as well. The examples also cover geological hazards, including volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.
Readers will also find:
A thorough introduction to the background of remote sensing, including foundational concepts and the classification of remote sensing based on data type, source, platform and imaging mediaComprehensive discussions of geomorphology, including explorations of lava fissures, badlands and beachesIn-depth explorations of structural geology, including discussions of deformation bands, fault lines and earthquake effectsSeveral examples of how to trace hydrological processes such as glacier retreat, changes in drainage patterns and bar formation
Perfect for advanced students and researchers in the geoscience community, Atlas of Structural Geological and Geomorphological Interpretation of Remote Sensing Images will also earn a place in the libraries of practicing professionals with an interest in the interpretation of remote sensing images.
