APPLICATIONS OF COMPUTING IN GEOMORPHOLOGY STUDIES – A CASE STUDY

Abstract

In recent years, the discourse in geomorphology has taken on a new perspective, through interdisciplinary discussions involving geotechnologies, focusing on the application of computing, especially geographic information systems (GIS). Geotechnologies have demonstrated the potential to establish themselves as tools for environmental planning and risk management. This study delves the using of geotechnologies in the morphometric analysis of the hydrographic basin of Pirapó River (Maringá, Paraná, Brazil).
