There is an affirming transformation, basically in the form of core methodology, in recent geomorphological studies. This book on “New Advancement in Geomorphological Research: Issues and Challenges in Quantitative Spatial Science" asserts the contributing aspects of neo-modern developments related to applied geomorphology. This includes hydrological research, fluvial geomorphology, applied glacial geomorphology, changes in coastal geomorphology, regional to global level disaster and/or hazard monitoring with advanced models, landslide monitoring, geo-heritage site suitability, and bank and gully erosion detection. Contemporary developments in linking with the advanced developments in remote sensing and GIS, and with spatial science, in applied geomorphology and related sub-branches of earth science. Recently, global climate change phenomena (GCCP) impacted local to regional climatic events, resulting in sea-level rise, melting of glaciers, drastic river-course changes, the disappearance of the coastal area, and shrinkage of natural resources toss significant tests to sustaining human civilization. Meanwhile, modern monitoring technology and policy help-desk can support and minimize the present day's problems globally and also safeguard the natural environment's impending persistence in human society. So, this academic persuasion is a pioneer in minimizing the complications, like river course changes, glacier abolishment, geo-hazard crisis management, coastal area erosion management, geo-heritage conservation and management, and so on. Side by side, this present volume of the book caters a rational time-scale of the analyzed processes from mountain to coastal regions. And for better academic persuasion this will also incorporates the level of analysis, in the shape of `susceptibility' to `risk', with newly advanced methods. Therefore, appropriate cultivation of the knowledge of the application of GIScience for applied geomorphology and on the bigger aspect of the welfare of society and environment, and subjective nursing and administration can curtail the gap between science, policy, and the bottom-level scenario concerned. This current endeavor is also underlining the adaptation of hybrid techniques, remote sensing, statistical tools, and GIS technologies for the quantification of various issues related to several branches of applied geomorphology. This contributed piece includes focused and problem-oriented case studies to underline the versatility of changing geomorphological research, environmental resources, natural landscape, geo eco-system management, interconnected problems, and concerned applied vista at various spatiotemporal scales. The endorsed chapters, encircling both theoretical and applied aspects, help as guideline information for future research. Concisely, this book will offer traditional and advanced geospatial technologies used in earth science, atmospheric, lithospheric, hydrosphere, and biospheric contexts connected to applied geomorphology and for better management. This current book will be a commendable product from the belvedere of researchers, scientists, academic personnel, policymakers, advanced learners in advanced geoscience, earth science, applied geomorphology, remote sensing, environmental resources management, GIS, and hydrology.
