Identification and analysis of landforms has been revolutionized by the availability of high-resolution (metre-scale) topographic survey data covering extensive areas, using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR). Airborne LiDAR has been in widespread use for over two decades; but due to increasing availability of data, some regions are only just beginning to be ‘explored’ in this way. In this article, we showcase high-resolution topography derived from airborne LiDAR survey data across South Island, New Zealand. We evidence a variety of tectonic, glacial, fluvial, hillslope and other landforms hitherto undetected within mountainous areas and beneath forests. We discuss how the characteristics of shape, size, position and association can differentiate landforms from one another, and how combinations of landforms enable landsystems to be identified that are diagnostic of past environmental conditions.</p>","PeriodicalId":100581,"journal":{"name":"Geology Today","volume":"41 5","pages":"192-199"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gto.12525","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145101820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article focuses on the critical role of geographical information systems, remote sensing, artificial intelligence and drones in modern warfare, particularly in urban environments, such as those seen in current conflicts. These technologies are essential for navigating the complexities of contemporary warfare, especially when civilian protection and infrastructure preservation are key concerns. Additionally, the growing reliance on real-time geospatial data raises challenges related to data management, disinformation and ethical and cybersecurity concerns, particularly through the media and social platforms. As military operations continue to evolve, future success will depend on the seamless integration of these technologies across multiple domains. However, achieving this requires not only technological innovation but also a strong commitment to ethical standards and robust security measures to safeguard their application in conflict zones.</p>","PeriodicalId":100581,"journal":{"name":"Geology Today","volume":"41 4","pages":"166-175"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gto.12522","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144725474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
