The working group will be collating materials for the production of a digital atlas of geomorphological maps.
Details
Time of release:
Target group: scholars, students, professionals
Objectives: to provide a reference collection of Applied/Engineering Geomorphological maps, with examples from many different morphoclimatic settings, scales, aims. To disseminate the knowledge about Applied/Engineering geomorphological maps of the not-English speaking schools (with translations of their legends into English)
Authors: academics, policy makers & professionals
Style: a digital atlas to be viewed on the web or on a cd-rom (printed copy on demand)
Lenght: depending on the maps we collect
Support: digital, with map viewers and possibly some notes (in pdf format) for each map

Digital Atlas of Applied Geomorphological Maps
a reference collection of applied geomorphological maps from different “schools”

2. Different “schools” of Applied Geomorphological Mapping
3. Regional examples(1) (possibly with legends translated into English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Indy):
* Polar
- Temperate
- Arid dry
- Tropical
- Mediterranean
- Mountains (Tundra)
- Offshore
4. Future developments
5. Conclusions

(1) an alternative classification of Regional Examples could follow this criteria:
* climate
- morphology
- region
- scale
- language
