This highly descriptive textbook offers an excellent introduction to the latest methodologies for mapping geomorphological formations across diverse environments. Its holistic approach connects advanced techniques for geomorphological mapping with a deeper understanding of the formation of these phenomena. Key features include an introduction to the processes that shape geomorphological formations and methods for mapping them, along with case studies showcasing various environments and numerous examples of geomorphological maps. The book provides in-depth descriptions of contemporary tools and methodologies such as field sampling, GPS usage, 3–4D mapping, GIS analysis, and digital image analysis. Additionally, it includes a comprehensive list of geomorphological characteristics for different environments (e.g., coastal, fluvial) formatted as a geomorphological encyclopedia, complete with pictures, maps, and symbols. Covering the entire workflow from data collection to mapping, this resource is invaluable for anyone interested in geomorphology. Acknowledgements highlight contributions from various institutions and individuals, including Dr. John W. M. Peterson for text improvements, collaborations with CUTGANA, and the use of ILWIS for geographic information management. Special recognition is given to those involved in the Montesinho Natural Park Management Plan and to Professor Dionísio Gonçalves for his enthusiasm and leaders
