An attempt of geomorphological interpretation of space multi-zonal images of plain areas (a case study of Middle Russian Plain)

Abstract

To study plain topography of the forest-steppe zone the space are most efficient which have been taken in spring in near field of the infra-red spectral band. The images analysis as well as the routine structural-geomorphological surface studies revealed new data on river valley features, supposed fault lines, local structures like swells, domes, depressions, isometric block morphostructures, and allows to forecast neotectonic movements of the morphostructures.
