Abstract
A proof is given to a principal statement that even one remote sensing survey gives information on the quantitative dynamic parameters of exogenous geological processes. The models of mathematical morphology of landscape are shown to be a tool for obtaining such parameters. Methods for evaluating the dynamic parameters in the form of a series of special quantitative characteristics are identified; expressions for the dynamic parameters were obtained for lake–thermokarst, thermokarst–erosion, and alluvial plains.
