Introduction

The Central and South American regions present diverse environments, landforms, and geomorphic processes that result from different processes produced in diverse climates, including equatorial, tropical, subtropical, temperate, and cold climates. These varied conditions have resulted in complex interactions among tectonic, climatic, and biotic factors, resulting in a wide array of landscapes. In this book, young geomorphologists from Central and South American countries present their research findings, showcasing the exciting topics and methods currently used in the field, presented during the 1st first webinar organized by the International Association of Geomorphologists in 2021. This research highlights the impact of endogenic forces, climatic events, and anthropic influences on the region’s geomorphic processes and the potential for planetary geomorphology and remote sensing techniques to contribute to the field. This book emphasizes the importance of studying geomorphology to understand the region's history, evolution, and current dynamics to inspire scientists and contribute to active geomorphology in Central and South America.
