Abstract

Researches of floodplain relief were surveyed on the upper Kama from the Bondyug village to the Vishera mouth. Current aerial photographs, space images and topographic maps were used An absolute and relative elevation, the ratio of low levels of Kama river and the edges of the water surface of oxbow lakes, the radii of curvature of oxbow lakes, old river beds and dry ones can be used as morphometric characteristics of floodplain topography, refl ecting the geomorphological differences and the uniqueness of different age floodplain generations. The most stable geomorphological indications of identity, by which one may establish and if necessary adjust relative age of the floodplain generations are present in the first, third and sixth generations.
