Small-scale geomorphological mapping of P.D.R. of Yemen: an approach to landscape evaluation
Keywords:
Geomorphological mapping, Small-scale maps, Remote sensing, P.D.R. YemenAbstract
The first attempt at landscape evaluation of South Yemen utilises small-scale (1: 1 million) geomorphological mapping, depicting macrorelief units 10 to 1000 km in size. Morphographic, lithological and morphostructural characteristics are identified. The mapping is based on remote sensing, field observations in selected areas, and data from geological maps. Evaluation of natural resources and geomorphological hazards is based on analysis of the relief in combination with climatic and soil data.
