摘要
Kite and balloon aerial photography is introduced as a remote-sensing method for periglacial features and vegetation. High-resolution aerial pictures obtained by this method from Alaskan study sites are used for geometric analysis of ice-wedge networks, quantification of patterned ground, and mapping of water and vegetation. High-resolution aerial photographs could be an important data set for monitoring changes in permafrost pattern, periglacial processes and vegetation over time and space.
