Mapping Mountain Landforms and Its Dynamics: Study Cases in Tropical Environments

High mountain areas are critical for water security and natural hazard dynamics, as well glacier ecosystem conservation in a warming world. We present brief account of the methodological steps geomorphological mapping areas, including required scale, legends, technology, software. analyze best imagery sources their combination with fieldwork geographical information systems (GIS), performing accurate cartography. In addition, we two case studies which apply several methods described previously. Firstly, carried out classical digital Cerro Chirripó (Talamanca Range). Secondly, studied Reserva Biológica Alberto Manuel Brenes (Central Volcanic Range), where used UAVs to map high-resolution fluvial geomorphology. This framework is suitable future surveys worldwide. Moreover, can give ideas on application these approaches different mountainous environments.
