The geomorphological map was developed through a literature review of prior studies at varying scales and semi-automated GIS techniques. High-resolution topographic data and 1:50,000 geological maps were integrated into a spatial geodatabase. Secondary layers, including a hillshade map, slope-aspect map, and red relief image map, were created and combined with Google Earth imagery to delineate landforms. These were categorized by primary formative processes into structural, fluvial, gravity-induced, coastal, karst, volcanic, glacial and periglacial. Additional maps and tables were produced, detailing topographic parameters, geotectonic setting, and climatic regime. The results highlight Greece's diverse geomorphological environments, shaped by active tectonics and surface processes. The map represents recent geomorphological advancements and serves as a management tool for stakeholders and a reference for interdisciplinary research.","PeriodicalId":50151,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Maps","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/17445647.2025.2540555?needAccess=true","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147896619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present a glacial geomorphological map of the Drang Drung, Haskira, and Pensilungpa glaciers in Trans-Himalayan Ladakh, India. Mapping was conducted using a combination of high-resolution satellite imagery (Pléiades, SPOT, Planet) supplemented with Google Earth Pro and a 2 m resolution Pléiades Digital Surface Model (DSM). Our map provides a detailed inventory of glaciers and glacial landforms (see Main map), including over 12,000 features across a ∼320 km² area. Mapped features include landforms such as moraines, alluvial fans, flutes, rock glaciers, crevasses, and debris cones. The map was validated by carrying out extensive ground truthing in 2023 and 2024. The main map is projected at a 1:33,000 scale, and is designed to be utilised by glaciologists and geomorphologists to understand glacier dynamics, date landforms, and trace glacier evolution, while also helping mountaineers to plan safe routes.","PeriodicalId":50151,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Maps","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/17445647.2025.2521422?needAccess=true","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147914172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
