The use of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a photo-video camera in the shore of Lake Ladoga in 2015 showed its high efficiency for studying the geomorphology of the shores. A number of features of the morphology of the Ladoga shores in several areas have been revealed, including: the structure of the submerged coastal slope on shallow banks has been refined; the main fracture systems for a number of crystalline massifs on the northern shore of the lake have been determined. A new map of the Ladoga Lake shores types was created. The integration of the method of terrestrial and aerial geomorphological surveys with subsequent generalization of the results to space survey data is an effective addition to the method of geomorphological studies of the coasts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
