Description:
ATLAS OF STRUCTURAL GEOLOGICAL AND GEOMORPHOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF REMOTE SENSING IMAGES

An extensive compilation of case studies in structural geology and geomorphology for interpreting remotely sensed images

In the Atlas of Structural Geological and Geomorphological Interpretation of Remote Sensing Images, a team of experts delivers an extensive collection of over 20 different examples of structural geological and geomorphological studies by remote sensing. The book demonstrates how to properly interpret geological features and gather robust and reliable information from 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 media

Comprehensive discussions of geomorphology, including explorations of lava fissures, badlands and beaches

In-depth explorations of structural geology, including discussions of deformation bands, fault lines and earthquake effects

Several examples of how to trace hydrological processes such as glacier retreat, changes in drainage patterns and bar for
