GIS TECHNOLOGY IN THE ASSESSMENT OF EROSION AND ACCUMULATION PROCESSES IN THE RIVER BED
Abstract
Article deals with the use of modern GIS (geographic information system) in the study of the deformation processes in the river. The most difficult problem in obtaining information on erosion and accumulative process is rapid assessment of the process. In the researches analyzed the possibility of using GIS technologies in the assessment of deformation processes in the foothills of the river, which have a highly variable nature. This information helps to draw conclusions about changes and events in nature. Study included collection, analysis and delivery of data to users with using GIS. The deformation processes in the river bed were evaluated and analyzed using Landsat satellite data. The researches described how to achieve a quick assessment of their processes.
