Transport i sedymentacja rumowiska unoszonego na zdjęciach lotniczych

Using optical features of water and suspended sediment, series of imageries of Polish rivers (mainly of Vistula River) and Loire River in France were registered from aircraft, beginning from 1990, at fi rst with video- computer technique, later using the own aircraft system for fl uent digital registration of a terrain. In the selected examples were presented images of suspended sediment with spatial differentiation of its concentration in river, in the morphologically different stretches. There were suggested possibilities of use of the suspended sediment as a tracer in researches of hydro-morphological processes, for ex. sedimentation and evaluation of the ecological state of rivers. In the range of examples use of airborne photographs was presented to the identifi cation of sediment deposition zones in natural conditions and changed by human activity.
