Quaternary geomorphology, tectonics and landslide hazards using geospatial technology
This special issue consists of twenty articles related to four major themes based on the applications of geospatial technologies which provide an essential insights into Earth's dynamic processes, including the mapping of landforms shaped by glaciations, tectonic activity, and climate shifts. Studies in the Indian Himalaya and Indo-Gangetic plain highlight the importance of multi-proxy climate records for understanding past climatic variability, such as changes in the Indian Summer Monsoon. Additionally, advances in seismic, landslide, and subsidence monitoring using geospatial technology offer valuable data for assessing natural hazards, improving infrastructure resilience, and informing climate change adaptation strategies. Ultimately, these technologies support sustainable development, risk mitigation, and the ability to predict and adapt to future environmental changes.
