dc.description.abstract | High mountain areas are critical for water security and natural hazard dynamics, as well
as glacier and ecosystem conservation in a warming world. We present a brief account of the
methodological steps for geomorphological mapping in mountain areas, including the required scale,
the legends, technology, and software. We analyze the best imagery sources and their combination
with fieldwork and geographical information systems (GIS), in performing accurate cartography.
In addition, we present two case studies in which we apply several methods described previously.
Firstly, we carried out a classical and digital geomorphological mapping of Cerro Chirripó (Talamanca
Range). Secondly, we studied the Reserva Biológica Alberto Manuel Brenes (Central Volcanic Range),
where we used UAVs to map high-resolution fluvial geomorphology. This methodological framework
is suitable for future geomorphological surveys in mountain areas worldwide. Moreover, the case
studies can give ideas on the application of these approaches to different mountainous environments. | es_ES |
