This book focuses on a significant branch of anthropogeomorphology,
which is not adequately studied: the impact of transportation systems
on altering earth surface processes and landforms. This book fills the
gap with in-depth study on the interaction between individual modes of
transport network (e.g., trail, roads, railways, waterways, airports,
and tunnel) and surface hydro-geomorphology with intensive literature
review, fieldwork, geo-environmental modelling, mapping, case studies,
and examples from different parts of the world. On the one hand, this
book also addresses the vulnerability of transport networks from
climate change and critical geo-hazards like floods, landslides, etc.
with case studies from the high-risk zones of India. Overall, this
book promotes peaceful harmony between the transport network and its
surrounding landscapes as an essential lesson for policymakers,
planners, and stakeholders.
