Geomorphology is the study of external landscape/architecture of the earthâ€™s crust which stands as a testimony not only for the palaeo morphotectonic and morpho-dynamic activities but also the present day geological processes as well thus making geomorphology significant in understanding the hierarchical evolution of the earth and related resources, environment/ecosystems and disaster proneness. With remote sensing deepening its roots in all fields, the scope of geomorphology too has phenomenally widened as fabrication and animation of modern geologic/geomorphic processes are being easily done by remote sensing. Key Features: Covers topics like the art of understanding Neo-Active-Seismotectonics through various tectonic, fluvial and coastal geomorphic anomalies, reverine life histories and dynamics, land-ocean interactive processes and the morphotectonics and morphodynamics of the coast there from, and the control of such geomorphic processes over mineral/water/hydrocarbon resources, natural disasters etc. Highly Illustrated with colour presentation of maps and figures. A multi-user book beneficial to: Students, professionals and researchers in the field of Environment, Geology, Hydrology, Natural Resources, Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Systems.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR S.M. Ramasamy

S M Ramasamy, an eminent field geologist and a known specialist in the field of remote sensing, has been actively engaged in geological studies in diverse settings across the country -- during the last one or two decades. His research findings have been published in the form of scientific papers in different national/international journals and conference volumes. This book is a compilation of a selection of 18 of his research papers dealing with various applications of remote sensing in the broad fields of structural geology, palaeotectonics, neotectonics and active tectonics. Most of the included studies are pertaining to Western and Southern India. After serving as a Geologist for over a decade with the Geological Survey of India, S M Ramasamy is currently, Prof and Director, Centre for Remote Sensing, Bharathidasan University, India.
