Abstract

The present study is an attempt to comprehend and interpret the geomorphological factors that contributed to the landscape formation and evolution of the broader area of Pieria Mtns in Northern Greece. Detailed geomorphological mapping was performed utilizing both automated - GIS oriented and traditional geomorphological techniques. In order to scientifically determine the formation and evolution of present day landscape, topography, geology, tectonics and climatic status were taken into consideration. The broader area of Pieria Mtns is a landscape with heterogeneous geomorphological environments. The geomorphological formation and evolution is the result of primarily active tectonics, and exogenic processes from Lower Miocene until present. The combined methodology of GIS oriented and traditional geomorphological mapping was proved to be scientifically accurate although time consuming. Detailed field work was considered mandatory in order to validate the GIS derivatives, and interpret the genesis of the landforms.
