Методика изучения морфологии абразионно-аккумулятивных берегов Западного побережья Крыма с применением БЛА и ГНСС (на примере участка территории Большого Севастополя)

Abstract

The method of studying the abrasion-accumulative coast of the Western coast of Crimea within the urban area of Sevastopol includes remote sensing using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and field studies of the morphology and structure of abrasion and landslide landforms of the coast. As a result of the research, the morphological zoning of the abrasion-accumulative coast was established. The formation of the morphological zoning of the abrasion-accumulative coast (according to I.S. Shchukin) during the last 150 years took place at a constant level of the Black Sea. Analysis of the coast from previously published multi-temporal maps and aerospace photographs revealed different stages in the movement of the coastline and landslide scarp. Since 1966, the coastal area has been used for low-rise residential development, which may have influenced the activity of landslide processes in the coastal strip. Remote sensing using UAVs consists of aerial photography of the research area along the planned flight route at altitudes of 20–100 m, with further compilation of a large-scale orthophotomap from a mosaic of images with geospatial fixation of images to the signs of the reference long-term local geodetic network, previously measured by the methods of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS ), as well as the formation of a digital elevation model (DEM) and the compilation of derived maps and plans on its basis in the environment of geographic information systems (GIS), for the analysis of the morphometry of the relief and modeling. The developed method of remote sensing of the Earth with the use of UAVs and simultaneous field studies makes it possible to organize operational monitoring of dynamically developing abrasion-accumulative shores.
