Remote sensing and GIS applications for Geomorphological characteristics in parts of Singrauli district, Madhya Pradesh, India

Geomorphology is a scientific discipline that focuses on the study of the form and structure of the earth's surface. Geomorphological characteristics play a crucial role in understanding topography, landforms, and hydrological parameters. Remote sensing and GIS are widely used and popular to analyse morphological parameters. The spatial distribution of topographic attributes can often be used as an indirect measure of the spatial variability of these processes and they can be mapped using relatively simple techniques like digital elevation models. The Cartons-1 satellite image and data from various sources were used for the creation of such models. The digital elevation model has been applied to the area lying between latitude 240 24' and 240 28' and longitude 820 15' and 820 21' in the Singrauli district of Madhya Pradesh to decipher the geomorphological characteristics. Using the models created from remote sensing and GIS from the maps of NRSC the spatial distribution of the geomorphological characteristics in the Singrauli district of Madhya Pradesh have been clearly demarcated.
