Over the past several decades, topographic measurement techniques have undergone significant advancement, evolving toward increasingly sophisticated instruments capable of higher precision and spatial resolution. This technological progression has enabled diverse applications across Earth sciences, particularly in territorial analysis for monitoring and quantifying geomorphological processes and their associated changes at varying temporal and spatial scales.

The intersection between geomatics and geomorphology represents a fundamental pathway for quantifying landscape evolution, assessing geohazards, improving cartographic representation, and informing land management decisions. From debris flow channel activation to glacial retreat monitoring, and from geomorphic signature of active tectonics to landslide hazard mapping, integrated geomatics approaches provide critical insights into surface processes.

This session invites researchers to present work employing integrated methodologies across diverse environmental settings. We encourage submissions utilizing topographic surveying, GPS/GNSS data analysis, photogrammetry (including UAV-based approaches), remote sensing imagery, geomorphometric analyses, InSAR data analysis, and machine learning applications. Contributions demonstrating multi-scale and multi-temporal approaches are particularly welcomed.
