Recent technical developments have enabled us to acquire high-definition topographic and geophysical data for geoscientific research, including geomorphology, land surface processes, subsurface structures, submarine and aerial environments, and geo-ecological interactions. Such high-definition or high-resolution data are particularly useful for studies on relatively short-term, i.e., decadal to millennial time scales, and for future predictions using numerical modelings. In this session, we expect submissions on topics challenging the issues in the Anthropocene, the most recent geological era of the Earth considerably affected by human activities. A range of topics would fit the session framework, such as theoretical works, improvements in the data acquisition, extensive data preservation and archiving, pre- and post-processing, statistical analysis, physical modeling, and numerical simulation for any kind of geoscientific and geomorphological research in the Anthropocene. The methodological approaches may include, but not limited to, laser scanning, SfM-MVS photogrammetry, GNSS precise positioning, SAR interferometry, multi-beam sonar, ground-penetrating radar, geomagnetic and electromagnetic sensors, and multispectral or hyperspectral sensors, based on terrestrial (fixed or mobile) and aerial (UAV or manned airborne) platforms. Geomorphological applications of these methodologies, including geomorphic processes, landform development and its relation to environmental changes, geomorphological hazards and their mitigation, relationships among geomorphic processes, and other natural phenomena and human activities are more than welcome.
