Topographic Symbols: Introduction to topographic symbols used on maps.
GPS and GIS: The use of GPS and GIS in topography.
Cartography: The science of mapmaking.
Physical Geography: The study of the natural environment and its processes.
Geomorphology: The study of landforms and landscapes.
Surveying: The science of measuring and mapping land.
Remote Sensing: The use of technology to gather data about the environment.
Geographic Information Systems: Database systems used to store, analyze and manipulate geographic data.
Environmental Science: The study of the environment and how it is affected by human activities.
Human Geography: The study of human populations and their activities.
Structural Geology: Study of geological structures and their interactions with rock properties.
Sedimentology: Study of sedimentary rocks and depositional environments.
Geochemistry: Study of the composition and reactions of rocks, minerals, and fluids in the earth’s crust.
Geophysics: Study of the physical properties of the earth’s crust, including seismicity, gravity, and magnetism.
Paleontology: Study of fossils and their use in understanding the evolution of life on earth.
Hydrology: Study of the movement, distribution, and quality of water resources on earth.
Mineralogy: Study of minerals and their properties.
Petrology: Study of rocks and their origin, composition, and classification.
Environmental Geology: Study of the interactions between human activities and geological processes.
Geomorphology: Study of the earth's surface shape and landforms, including mountains, valleys, and coastal features.
"Topography is concerned with local detail in general, including not only relief but also natural, artificial, and cultural features such as roads, land boundaries, and buildings."
"In the United States, topography often means specifically relief, even though the USGS topographic maps record not just elevation contours but also roads, populated places, structures, land boundaries, and so on."
"Topography in a narrow sense involves the recording of relief or terrain, the three-dimensional quality of the surface, and the identification of specific landforms; this is also known as geomorphometry."
"In modern usage, topography involves the generation of elevation data in digital form, known as DEM (Digital Elevation Model)."
"It is often considered to include the graphic representation of the landform on a map by a variety of cartographic relief depiction techniques, including contour lines, hypsometric tints, and relief shading."
