Research into Cryolithozone Spatial Pattern Changes Based on the Mathematical Morphology of Landscapes

Lacustrine thermokarst is receiving great interest as a landscape-forming process. Despite this, research dealing with the quantitative analysis of changes in morphological patterns plains under ongoing climate change lacking. This study aims to analyze cryolithozone landscapes based on models provided by mathematical morphology landscapes. Our involves eight key sites within lacustrine and nine fluvial erosion. These differ geomorphological, geocryological, physiographical terms, are situated different regions such Yamal, Taimyr, Kolyma lowland, river Lena delta, Baffin’s Land, Alaska. Archival Corona images (date 1) high-resolution satellite imagery from June August 2008–2014 2) were used obtain model’s morphometric data. According models, pattern did not undergo significant during observation period, while 20% erosion underwent essential lake area distributions. difference may come higher reactivity process than that thermokarst.
