Dieses Buch untersucht, welchen Einfluß Landschaftsformen, insbesondere Höhenunterschiede, auf die an der Erdoberfläche ablaufenden Prozesse haben. Wasserbewegungen, die Sonneneinstrahlung sowie die Bodenentwicklung und -erosion werden alle mehr oder minder durch die Form der Landschaftsoberfläche gesteuert. Die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der Landschaftsanalyse sind vielfältig: Sie reichen von Studien über Wasserscheiden und Feuchtgebiete über Bodenkunde und Erosionsstudien, Landschafts- und Landnutzungsstudien bis zu geomorphologischer Forschung und regionalen und globalen Ökologiestudien. Darüber hinaus kann die Landschaftsanalyse auch zu meteorologischen Vorhersagen sowie bei Problemen mit TV- oder Radiosignalempfang eingesetzt werden. Dieses Forschungsgebiet hat in Verbindung mit den jüngsten Fortschritten auf dem Gebiet der GIS und GPS eine rasante Entwicklung durchlaufen. In diesem Band werden alle diese neuen Ansätze und Anwendungsbereiche umfassend erläutert. (y05/00)

Reviews

"...an exceptionally well presented research volume that contains original and significant research papers providing a cutting edge synthesis of the potential of integrated environmental modelling." (Photogrammetric Record, October 2001)
"Overall, the book is ideal both for students and for researchers, both as a textbook and as a source of advanced reading. Those keen to pursue a research in terrain analysis will find the book very useful because it contains an extensive list of terrain parameters, compiled effectively with equations, diagrams, and explanations, and examples of their utilization in practical applications." (Environment and Planning Bi Planning and Design, Spring 2002)
