Standard for Preparation of Coastal Geomorphology Maps
Coastal Geomorphology Maps are essential scientific tools for understanding and managing coastal environments worldwide. This book presents the standardized methods and principles for preparing coastal geomorphology maps, addressing key challenges such as geomorphological unit identification, vegetation concealment, human activity impacts, and coastal destruction.
Published by the UNESCO Chair on Coastal Geo-Hazard Analysis, this scientific publication introduces modern GIS-based approaches and computer manipulation techniques that have transformed geomorphological mapping in recent years.
The book covers systematic methods for recording information about land forms, materials, soils and rocks, land surface processes, and landform chronology. It serves as a practical framework for coastal hazard assessment and contributes directly to sustainable development goals in coastal regions around the world.
This publication is an essential resource for researchers, geologists, and environmental planners working in coastal geomorphology, hazard assessment, GIS mapping, and sustainable coastal development.
