Geohazard associated geounits : atlas and glossary ; with CD-ROM

Globally there has been a marked increase in both the frequency and cost of natural disastersoccurring due to geological, hydrological and meteorological causes. According to the United States National Academy of Sciences losses caused by natural disasters have quadrupled in the last twenty years. This book, conceived as a technical manual deals with various aspects of geohazards -using photogeologyand remote sensing. It is unique in that the succinct text supports the illustrations, and is aimed at geoscience professionals and university students, devisedas a quick-reference standardized presentation of 170 globally occurring photo-geomorphological units derived from a comprehensive image resolvable and ordered genetic classification of geounits. The selected geounits are uniquely classed and identified as either agents of, or susceptible to, one or more of the 14 general types of geohazards. Thedata set of each geounit systematically integrates characterizing graphics, ground and air prespective photos to introduce interpreted aerospace mono/stereoscopic photos and images demonstrating their detectability and mappability.
