Recent advances in surveying technology and better availability of high precision surveying tools made it easy for geomorphologists to benefit from data with higher spatial resolution as well as data with much better precision than just a couple years ago. In this session we want to

(i) increase the awareness of modern surveying techniques and their application to geomorphology,

(ii) provide a platform for researchers to present their experiences with laser scanners, range cameras, close range photogrammetry, terrestrial RADAR as well as other new surveying tools and

(iii) provide a platform for innovative solutions capable of generating input data for current and future models in geomorphology.

The main focus of this session will be towards the applications of close range measurements in small to medium size applications.
The proposed session has an overlap with ISPRS Commission V Working Group V/6 - "Close range morphological measurements for the earth sciences". While the ISPRS commission meetings are typically visited by professionals of geodesy a similar session at EGU allows better communication between professional surveyors and geomorphologists.
