Preface -- ‘An Unfortunate Accident of Geography’: Badlands and the ANZAC Sector, Gallipoli, April–December 1915 -- From Army Outpost to Global Military Installations: How WW2 Transformed the Military Presence in the Southwestern United States -- Preparing for War in the Desert Southwest; From the California - Arizona Maneuver Area to the Yuma Test Branch (and beyond) -- The Influence of Physical Geography on the Battle Of Kasserine Pass, Tunisia 1943 -- The Influence of Geology And Geography on the Indian Wars in Eastern Washington Territory -- Teaching Military Geoscience in the 21st Century Classroom: Virtual Field Explorations of the Gettysburg Battlefield -- Fort Fisher North Carolina Past and Present: A Geospatial Analysis using LiDAR and GIS -- There’s Uranium in Them Hills: The Archaeology of Nevada's Uranium Boom -- Military Development and Geographic Change on San Diego Bay -- High Density Metal Contaminant Transport in Arid Region Ephemeral Channels -- Comparing Playa Inundation Estimates From Landsat and LiDar Data to a Doppler Radar-Based Hydrologic Model -- Environmental Security and Trans-Boundary Water Resources -- Environmental Reporting in the South African Department of Defense and Military Veterans -- Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and the Use of Forwarding Operating Bases (FOBs) -- U.S. Army Agriculture Development Teams, Afghanistan: The Role of the Geoscientist -- Regional Distribution of Salt-Rich Dust Across Southwest Asia Based on Predictiv e Soil-Geomorphic Mapping Techniques -- Digital Elevation Models to Support Desert Warfare -- Military Test Site Characterization and Training Future Officers – An Integrated Terrain Analysis Approach -- Use of Ground-Based LiDAR for Detection of IED Command Wires on Typical Desert Surfaces -- Parent Material Mapping of Geologic Surfaces Using Aster in Support of Integrated Terrain Forecasting for Military Operations -- Analysis of Recurring Sinking Events of Armored Tracked Vehicles in the Israeli Agricultural Periphery of the Gaza Strip -- Integrated Terrain Forecasting for Military Operations In Deserts.

This book is a collection of papers presented at the 9th International Conference of Military Geoscience that was held in 2011. The conference included discussion on a diverse range of geosciences, including military history, military geology, teaching geology from a military prospective, geological influence on the battlefield, and environmental and cultural issues related to management of military lands. Geology and geography have played a significant role in military history, from providing the stone for primitive tools and weapons, to the utilization of terrain in offensive and defensive strategies. Specific to this volume, deserts comprise nearly a third of the Earth’s surface and have been the site of numerous battles where the dust, heat, and a lack of food and water have provided challenges to military leaders and warriors. This book examines the role of deserts in past and modern warfare, the problems and challenges in managing military lands in desert regions, and how desert environmental conditions can impact military equipment and personnel. This proceedings volume should be of interest to scholars, professionals, and those interested in military history, warfare, geology, geography, cultural resources, general science, and military operations.
