This book is an Atlas and Glossary of data sets of geounits associated with geohazards that are detectable in optical and radar airphotos and satellite images. These sets are intended to provide a reference and instructional aid for geoscience professionals and students in physical, engineering, environmental geology as well as hydrogeology, geomorphology and physical geography. Its geographical reach is global.
