Atlas of Structural Geological and Geomorphological Interpretation of Remote Sensing Images

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 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.
