[HTT32-01] Historical consideration on the relationship among surveying, geomorphology and GIS

*Takashi OGUCHI1 (1.CSIS, Univ. Tokyo)

Keywords:surveying, geomorphology, GIS

Surveying and geomorphology are related disciplines because both deal with the shape of earth surfaces. Their relationship changed historically with the progress of related technologies, concepts and materials including photogrammetry, geomorphometry, digital elevation models and GIS. This paper discusses such historical issues and presents future perspectives.
