'GIS for Earth Surface Systems' illustrates the application of GIS techniques in solving problems of physical geography. The editors found it important to have the book cover the entire process of data transformation and analysis: theory, methods used, data collection techniques, culminating in the selection the best suited GIS technique for the specific purpose, rather than limiting themselves to a discussion of only GIS technologies. Contributions to this volume discuss the application of GIS-techniques to reach specific research objectives (e. g. snowmelt and precipitation modelling, denudation rates, extraction of morphometric parameters). The papers also highlight present limitations of the GIS-techniques and point out future directions of GIS development and use in physical geography. The research projects described in this volume were carried out under the aegis of the GIS working group of the Association of German Geographers (Arbeitskreis GIS der DGfG), established to investigate present and future uses and developments of GIS in physical geography.
