Diese Sammlung von Übersichtsartikeln und Originalarbeiten bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über methodologische und technologische Entwicklungen bei der Erfassung und Analyse von Geländedaten. Unter anderem wird besprochen, welche geomorphologischen Schlüsse sich aus der Geländestruktur ziehen lassen und wie sich der Einsatz von GIS und GPS auf die Datenerfassung auswirkt.
