Abstract

The paper discusses the developmental change and future of Geography.The intellectual and institutional capacity to meet the demand for geographic expertise among professionals and development planning for societal welfare have become crucial in areas of terrain management. There has been a rapid digital developmental phase since the beginning of the twentieth century,within the discipline. By using latest technological advances in digital cartography like DEM, DSM and DTM modeling, AVHRR, SRTM data, freely available and easily downloadable satellite data beginning in the twentieth century with the launch of aerial photography and later satellite imagery through ERTS in 1960 by NASA,the geospatial technology(RS,GIS,GPS,GNSS)bouquet has managed to provide holistic solutions to terrain related complications in variety of domains(land resource,climate,weather,agriculture etc.)This paper attempts to bring together the recent modern developments in geographical approaches whereby discussing how broad its scope has become to cater to society through development ,management and estimate the impact with precision on populations and natural regions. These advances have enhanced the capacity for cliodynamical problem solving leading to greater precision in addressing and estimating disasters, their management and increasing the scope for effective disaster mapping and management to save lives and effectively address crisis related to terrain.
