Geomorphology its geology and soil are the three important geoheritage elements of any protected area.Natural environment of a protected area comprises of both biodiversity and geodiversity. Presence ofbiodiversity of any protected area depends on its geodiversity. Achanakmar Tiger Reserve (ATR) is situatedat the Mikal hills is an important part of Central Indian landscape and is characterized by its uniquebiodiversity. It is an integral part of Achanakmar Amarkantak Biosphere Reserve and provides shelter tonumerous endangered floral and faunal biodiversity. The area is characterized by diverse landscape wherethe elevation varies from 305-1080 m above mean sea level. Major geological formations of the reserve areaare metamorphic rocks followed by Gneiss-Granitoid Complex and Deccan trap. The dominant soil type isclayey coarse followed by fine loamy. The luxuriant growth of Shorearobusta in the area is due to welldrained sandy loam soil. The study area represents as excellent natural laboratory to test the geodiversityinfluence on the landscape aspect and evolution. Maniyari river which flows upto 62 km through ATR isseasonal river and fulfill the major water requirement. Remote Sensing& GIS techniques have been used toanalyse the land use land cover pattern and its tree species diversity presence in the ATR area. Rich diversityof tree species have been observed with Sal (Shorearobusta) as the dominating tree species.

“…Geomorphological mapping is a common and fundamental tool for the representation and the comprehension of the spatial and temporal development of landslides. Recent and new methods developed in the last decades have improved landslide analysis with multidisciplinary approaches including (i) morphometric analysis using very-high-resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), (ii) interpretation and analysis of satellite images, including Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images, and (iii) the use of new tools to facilitate field mapping [30][31][32][33][34][35]. Moreover, the investigation of geomorphological processes and dynamics, in different and complex morphostructural domains, became necessary for the assessment of the areas prone to landslides with reference to the predisposing and/or triggering factors.…”

Landslides are a widespread natural phenomenon that play an important role in landscape evolution and are responsible for several casualties and damages. The Abruzzo Region (Central Italy) is largely affected by different types of landslides from mountainous to coastal areas. In particular, the hilly piedmont area is characterized by active geomorphological processes, mostly represented by slope instabilities related to mechanisms and factors that control their evolution in different physiographic and geological–structural conditions. This paper focuses on the detailed analysis of three selected case studies to highlight the multitemporal geomorphological evolution of landslide phenomena. An analysis of historical landslides was performed through an integrated approach combining literature data and landslide inventory analysis, relationships between landslide types and lithological units, detailed photogeological analysis, and geomorphological field mapping. This analysis highlights the role of morphostructural features on landslide occurrence and distribution and their interplay with the geomorphological evolution. This work gives a contribution to the location, abundance, activity, and frequency of landslides for the understanding of the spatial interrelationship of landslide types, morphostructural setting, and climate regime in the study area. Finally, it represents a scientific tool in geomorphological studies for landslide hazard assessment at different spatial scales, readily available to interested stakeholders to support sustainable territorial planning.

“…For the representation, analysis and visualization of geological processes thematic maps is essential tool. To understand natural phenomena associated with human activities, geomorphological maps are particularly useful in among the large variety of thematic maps (Melelli et al, 2012;Dramis and Bisci, 1998). Islam et al (2014) recognized geomorphic unit and prepare geomorphic and land use map with the help of remote sensing data of Rangpur district.…”

Geomorphology is closely related to geology, soil science, hydrology and environmental science and is being increasingly applied in planning, mining and hydrological sectors, and within environmental consultancy and tourism. The study area lies in the north-eastern part of the country and tectonically this area belongs to Surma Basin situated into Bengal Fore deep zone of Bengal Basin also known as Sylhet Trough. Under this study an attempt was made to establish the relationship between geomorphic unit and existing landuse based on remote sensing data. In the study area nine landuse categories were identified through remote sensing and GIS techniques. Two different physiographic units which are North-Eastern Terrace Land and Surma-Kushiyara Flood Plain are belongs to the study are. Moreover two surface geological units include Young Gravelly Sand and Marsh Clay and Peat are also there. From analysis no relationship has been found between landuse classes with its physiography and surface geology. Environ. Sci. & Natural Resources, 12(1&2): 151-155, 2019
