Geomorphology and typing of the Lake Ladoga shores with the use of dron

Abstract

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.
