It elaborates on the classical representation of terrain on maps such as cartographic projections, together with their classification, scale, and geographical elements. It is richly illustrated with photographs, maps and figures, in which the theoretical explanations are clarified. Readers will become acquainted with the physical characteristics of the ground, i.e. tectonic and erosive shapes, the importance and classification of terrain, genetic (fluvial, abrasive, glacial, karst) and topographic types such as higher (mountains, hills, peaks) and lower terrain (valleys, fields). In addition, the book discusses cartometry and coordinate systems, orientation in space (geographic, topographic, tactical) including by means of maps, instruments and the night sky and elaborates new techniques and technologies such as aerial photogrammetric imagery, global navigation satellite systems and LiDAR. The book also includes methods for the practical execution of concrete measurement operations, such as determining position and movement on land with maps, compass and azimuth which makes it especially useful for practitioners and professionals, e.g., for landscape planning, military exercises, mountaineering, nature walks etc. As such it offers a valuable guide not only for undergraduate students but also for researchers in the fields of geography, geosciences, geodesy, ecology, forestry and related areas looking for an overview on topography. Uniquely, the book also features an extensive glossary of topographical terms. 345 $aEBSCOhost eBooks 410 0$aSpringer Geography,$x2194-315X 606 $aGeographical information systems 606 $aGeophysics 606 $aLandscape ecology 606 $aRegional planning 606 $aUrban planning 606 $aForestry 606 $aPolitics and war 606 $aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J13000 606 $aGeophysics/Geodesy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18009 606 $aLandscape Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19058 606 $aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000 606 $aForestry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L22008 606 $aMilitary and Defence Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912080 615 0$aGeographical information systems. 615 0$aGeophysics. 615 0$aLandscape ecology. 615 0$aRegional planning. 615 0$aUrban planning. 615 0$aForestry. 615 0$aPolitics and war. 615 14$aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography. 615 24$aGeophysics/Geodesy. 615 24$aLandscape Ecology. 615 24$aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning. 615 24$aForestry. 615 24$aMilitary and Defence Studies. 676 $a910.285 700 $aMarkoski$b Blagoja$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01062372 801 0$bUJAEN 912 $a9910299409103321 996 $aBasic Principles of Topography$92525189 997 $aUNINA
