Beschreibung

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.

Preface

Analyses of geological structure and geomorphology from remote sensing images have been important disciplines in (applied) Earth Sciences. Students have excellent (recent) textbooks on remote sensing, structural geology and geomorphology. However, they lack numerous quality examples to learn how to interpret the images in real‐world examples. This atlas fills that gap and benefits both instructors and students. Such a book would be most useful during the tight semester schedule. The book comes out as part of our ongoing efforts to produce atlas and other teaching/lab contents in structural geology and related disciplines (e.g. Mukherjee 2013, 2014, 2015, 2020, 2021; Bose and Mukherjee 2017; Misra and Mukherjee 2018; Mukherjee et al. 2020).

After qualifying their degrees, students will mostly work in industry as geologists and not necessarily as “structural geologists.” They would require diverse structural skills, such as image interpretation, which are presently not taught in structural geology courses in most universities. Some amount of remote sensing image interpretation has now become an absolute need in regional structural geological articles that may focus on other issues (e.g. Vanik et al. 2018; Dasgupta and Mukherjee 2017, 2019; Dasgupta et al. 2022; Biswas et al., in press). Instead of using topo‐sheets, geologists are now plotting lithocontacts on Google Earth images. Along with the plotted structures obtained from the terrain, interpretation of images for tectonic geomorphology has become essential to strengthen the field findings. International journals are interested in handling articles that approach problems from a multidisciplinary perspective. Having some knowledge in image interpretation therefore has become a “necessary skill.”

This edited book provides examples of the process of interpreting remotely sensed images in terms of structural geology and geomorphology. It covers (i) interpretations on remotely sensed images from varied resolutions; (ii) different bands/spectra and their combinations into False Color Composites (FCCs); (iii) diverse criteria used to identify and interpret structural geologic and geomorphologic features; and (iv) providing one uninterpreted and another interpreted image for all examples. The book provides a common platform to look for global examples for anyone interested in remotely sensed images.

In a few years from now and even during the present COVID pandemic, most geologists will be/have been developing virtual field trips. We hope that this book will be useful in that context. We look forward to receiving comments from the readers!

Remote sensing has been immensely useful in tectonics, structural geology, and geomorphic studies (e.g. Misra et al. 2014; Dasgupta and Mukherjee 2017, 2019; Shaikh et al. 2020; Dasgupta et al. 2022). This edited book consists of 24 chapters authored and co‐authored by 53 persons from 21 academic organizations and industries from 7 countries.

Misra (2022a; Chapter 1) presents the definition, fundamental processes, and scopes of remote sensing in structural geologic and geomorphologic studies. Misra (2022b; Chapter 2) pens the next introductory chapter, which classifies remote sensing based on data type, source, platform, and imaging media. Gupta and Biswas (2022, Chapter 3) present a morpho‐tectonic analysis of a mid‐channel bar using remote sensing images from the Jaldhaka river (India). Deota et al. (2022, Chapter 4) present geomorphic indicators of glacier retreat from Jorya‐Garang glacier, Baspa Valley (India). They identify different stages of moraines. Jordan (2022, Chapter 5) presents several interesting aerial views of the 2018 Kilauea eruption (U.S.A). Geomorphic features such as lava fissures are documented from images. Awais (2022, Chapter 6) documents different kinds of depositional systems observable in images in Google Earth, viz. different rivers, deltas, lakes, alluvial fans, dunes, and estuaries. Patel et al. (2022, Chapter 7) discuss in detail badland geomorphology from images and several field photos. Their study area was Garbeta (India). Dongare et al. (2022, Chapter 8) discuss the geomorphology of the Indian west coast. The area is important from the perspective of hydrocarbon exploration (Mukherjee et al. 2020) and few recent field data have been available (e.g. Misra and Mukherjee 2017). The present authors focus on the erosional and depositional landforms of Goa beach. Misra (2022c, Chapter 9
