The increasing availability of high-resolution remotely sensed data from sources such as optical and radar satellite data, satellite-derived digital elevation models (DEMs), drones, LiDAR, and new &#8220;big-data&#8221; methods and analytical capabilities has revolutionised our ability to study and understand landscapes and their evolution. This session invites contributions that demonstrate the use of these cutting-edge technologies and methods in investigating surface and subsurface processes, landscape change, and hazards.<\/p>\n<p>We welcome abstracts spanning the full spectrum of relevant methods and topics, including but not limited to satellite altimetry to monitor coastal change; drones and LiDAR for detailed geomorphological mapping and high-resolution change detection; ground-penetrating radar for subsurface analysis; and big-data analytics of fluvial systems. The session will explore how existing, new, and emerging data and methods can address critical geomorphological questions, enhance our understanding of natural processes, contribute to hazard management, and advance the geomorphology discipline.<\/p>\n<p>This session encourages an &#8220;open-data, open-methods&#8221; approach to engagement and collaboration within and beyond this session, in order to share methods and experiences (including failures and successes) that advance the integration of geospatial data and technologies with geomorphological understanding across systems and environments. We encourage contributions that highlight interdisciplinary approaches, case studies from a diverse range of geomorphic settings, and scientists across all career stages.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Novel geospatial and remote sensing methods for geomorphological feature mapping and monitoring<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Daniel H\u00f6lbling<sup>1<\/sup>, Andrew Neverman<sup>2<\/sup>, Melanie Stammler<sup>3<\/sup>, Helen Dias<sup>4<\/sup>, Elena Nafieva<sup>1<\/sup>, Lorena Abad Crespo<sup>1<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><sup>1<\/sup>Department of Geoinformatics &#8211; Z_GIS, University of Salzburg, Salzburg, Austria, <sup>2<\/sup>Manaaki Whenua &#8211; Landcare Research, Palmerston North, New Zealand, <sup>3<\/sup>Department of Geography, University of Bonn, Bonn, Germany, <sup>4<\/sup>Institute of Energy and Environment, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Geospatial and remote sensing methods are advancing at a rapid pace, along with a growing amount of spatial data available for geomorphological and landscape dynamics applications. In particular, repeated data acquisitions have increased the temporal frequency of data, opening new opportunities for analysing geomorphological changes over time. This session showcases and explores different geospatial and remote sensing techniques and methods for mapping, analysing and monitoring geomorphological feature changes and landscape dynamics related to fluvial, glacial, volcanic, hillslope, tectonic, coastal, and aeolian processes.<\/p>\n<p>Technologies and methods in focus include but are not limited to the application of aerial or satellite remote sensing with LiDAR, UAV, radar, or multispectral sensors; the use of raster and vector data cubes for the analysis of big Earth Observation (EO) data, including advances in cloud-based EO platforms for time series mapping tasks; development of geomorphometry and terrain analysis techniques with a temporal component; and novel geospatial analysis methods and data acquisition techniques for geomorphological mapping and monitoring in general.<\/p>\n<p>We welcome methodological and applied contributions that highlight the novel use of spatial methods for geomorphological time series analysis, but also those that expand on the challenges of data processing and analysis.
