Overview

The book will offer a broad interdisciplinary overview of state of the art research on landform related issues. This includes contributions from Physical Geography (incl. Geomorphology, Ecology, Remote Sensing, Hydrology, and Climatology), Meteorology, Geoinformatics, Cartography, and Computer Science. The book combines introductory/overview papers as well as case studies. The case studies present various new approaches towards a better understanding of the role of landform as a boundary surface between the different earth spheres. Additionally, new methods of handling, modelling and visualisation of digital landform data (incl. digital elevation models, weather forecasting models, hydrological modelling, and ecological modelling) are introduced.
