Abstract

The article presents the results of remote studies of small thermokarst lakes distribution in size and changes in their number and area. It uses satellite imageries of ultrahigh spatial resolution KH-7, 1963 year and the current images GeoEye-1. It was found that for 50 years the limnicity decreases and the reduction of the total area of lakes prevails over its growth. On the basis of statistical analysis of experimental data it is shown that the sizedistribution of small lakes corresponds to a power law.
