Erstmals wurden in diesem Buch praktische Beispiele geomorphologischer Daten aus der ganzen Welt zusammengetragen, um zu zeigen, wie sich mit Hilfe dieser Informationen präzise Vorschläge zur Landnutzung und zur Abschätzung von Katastrophenrisiken erarbeiten lassen. Fallstudien zeigen, wie sich Risiken erkennen lassen; Experten kommentieren jeweils den neuesten Stand der Forschung. Nicht zuletzt zeigt der Autor auch, wann man einen Missbrauch der Umwelt mit geomorphologischen Mitteln korrigieren kann.
