Down to Earth…and below
This book is about Down to Earth multidisciplinary analysis and interpretation of Canada’s terrain from multidate, multiscale, multispectral aerial photographs. The book follows two earlier works by Dr. J.D. Mollard on air photo analysis and interpretation of Canada’s landscape (Landforms and Surface Materials of Canada – A Stereoscopic Airphoto Atlas and Glossary and Airphoto Interpretation and the Canadian Landscape).
Down to Earth…and below differs from these earlier books in two significant ways. First, it contains a very large number of annotated drawings illustrating relationships among the landforms, geological processes and physical environments that create surface features. Secondly, it contains a large number of exercises on natural and cultural feature and pattern recognition that are not in the earlier books.
