India has made tremendous progress in the aerospace technology in the last two decades. We are one, among the world's best in satellite and the remote sensing technology. We are also one of the developing countries facing the natural disasters and trying level best to mitigate their ill effects. At the best we can minimize their effect. To achieve this, we need to have a comprehensive mangement program dealing with mapping and monitoring. The remote sensing technology with the fieldwork provides an edge to characterize the geomorphologic aspects. The present paper reviews the application of the remote sensing tools in the application of geomorphology. A few case studies fromtge different part of the country are presented in the context of geomorphology of the foothills of Siwaliks, Central India and the eastern coast and use of remote sensing.
